Lunch on the Frontier

[@PhantomObserver]

Heh. This *does* suggest a topic for early summer next year: picnicking in the Old West. Or as John Wayne would say, “Picnicking, Mr. Pennell?”

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep, good idea

[@gregorypennell1755]

As one who proudly carries the surname Pennell, I wholeheartedly agree!

[@Remoniq]

As a trained baker I would love to know more about bread in the old west.

[@Rags2Itches]

Flour certainly would of been all organic and contain at least 30% protein back then. Lard would of been the fat used and starters made from potato mixtures or salt rising mixtures would of been the rising agent. Native American tribes used biscuit root, arrow root, cattail root , ground dried corn and acorns for flours, Just to name a few. Crackers were popular, kept well and cost 15 cents a tin in the 1860s.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I'll get with a baker who knows the old ways and get some extra info for you.

[@sdsith]

I second this!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Santee that was a very informative and one funny vid. Sometime ago I was invited to an authentic Asian restaurant as I was out of country on business. The individual ordered his favorite dish in his language sort of a surprise for the guess. Fifteen minutes later a large platter arrived mid table. It was fresh fried fish, how fresh? It's gills and mouth were still moving 😲 to say the least I lost my appetite. Back the hotel I ended up eating dinner a soda and a bag of potato chips.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Ewwwww! Live fish. Yuck!

[@tedebear108]

Good morning Arizona Ghost Riders. I definitely enjoyed watching the episode on lunches. Maybe you should consider doing something on breakfasts and dinner as well. How the people ate on the road on Horseback traveling. This might be something to consider. Thank you and see you in the next video

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Did one on breakfast. Dinner....I may have!

[@bigbill2444]

Obviously, corn poppers were eaten on the road. :-)

Thanks again Santee & Co . I heard about a traditional British meal called the ploughman's lunch which consists of a piece of bread , a piece of cheese , and a pickle . It's actually pretty good .

Hey Santee, I've been a Teamster front end driver and hostler my whole life. One of the old timers I started out with started out working with a guy who made the transition from from wagons to trucks. How about an episode on Teamsters and the origin of the term hostler?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Sure! Thanks.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

Hostler is the term used for the guy who drove locomotives around in a train yard or shop, but not on the road.

Lunch in the old west looks similar to what you'd find anywhere else. A bit of meat, cheese and an apple if available would have been carried in a handkerchief which the worker or farmhand and would have been eaten at midday. Usually washed down with some beer.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep! Thanks.

[@Squib1911]

I was having lunch while watching: cheeseburger (extra pickle) and fries. Looks like Rex likes to nap after lunch.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

He does. I had to get him up right after. Some lady couldn't find her Chihuahua and...well....I think you can guess.

Interesting video. My Great Grandfather was born right after the Civil War and he was still alive when I was a kid. He told us stories of going into bars and buying a beer and they had trays of cold cuts, cheeses, and bread for you to make sandwiches for free! You just paid for the beer. He brought a galvanized bucket with him and he had the bucket filled with beer when he left. He walked home with a bucket of beer.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Very cool history there.

[@santamanone]

“Lunch” is a new invention. The American standard is: -Breakfast = first meal of the day, -Dinner = the meal at the middle of the day (also usually the biggest meal of the day) and -Supper = the evening meal (usually leftovers from Dinner)

[@auburn696]

I don't get it.

[@user-neo71665]

I'm 41 and thats how it was growing up. I didn't know what lunch was till I started school.

[@auburn696]

Must be cultural and regional, the term "lunch" was in common usage here long before that.

[@bigbill2444]

This actually varies from region to region. There's no "American standard" for even the names of meals, much less when each is served (or eaten).

I still find myself saying, see you after dinner. Most people my age get it, younger people, not so much.
