  • New England style volcanic winter dishes

    From Nigel Reed@1:124/5016 to All on Fri Mar 1 14:37:51 2024
    Hi all,

    THis might be a strange request but here goes.

    I have a friend writing a book about a future New England (area of the USA) in which people have greenhouses but limited space. Large animals are mostly gone.
    There are some cows but are few and far between.

    Fish, rabbit, chicken are available. Goat, pig, venison are rare and a specialty.

    There is no overseas trade, so anything that cannot be grown in the US climate would not be available. Local trade is limited.

    Now they mention a volcanic winter that lasted 10 years so whatever could survive a cold climate. Yeah, it gets more difficult, that's why I'm reaching out the Internet Cooking brain-trust! :)

    So, post your best New England volcanic winter dishes and you may be published! --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux

    Calcium water

    One of the big basics that diet will be low on is calcium. Fresh rain water is the best source but free flowing water works well, Take rinsed egg shells (up to 18) and simmer for 30 minutes then turn off. Let completely cool for 2 hours. Remove eggshells and crush, adding to compost pile for any remaining calcium for plants. Industries that crush clam shels for calcium pills will thrive.
