The Cold Table: hats

My Interests Combined!

Some of my readers may be aware of my other blog, Loose Threads: Yet Another Costume Blog, which focuses on historic costume.

Today I have found the perfect subject to post about: one combining historic costume and food! It is the history of raw meat hats, from the Hats of Meat web site. Talk about "two great tastes that taste great together!"*

Anyway, if historic costume interests you at all, please take a look at my other blog. Thanks.

EDIT: (3/3/2015) I realized today that the original post on Hats of Meat is gone,

* If you are wondering whether I'm pulling your leg about the history of meat hats, look at the date of this post.

Mission Statement

Welcome to "The Cold Table" (formerly called "Table Scraps" and, less recently, "Food Through Time")! This is a blog about the history of food worldwide. It's about the origins of foodstuffs; recreating period foods, cooking techniques, and cooking utensils; historic ideas about food and nutrition; eating customs; and tableware. I will also do reviews of books discussing any of the above topics. I hope you enjoy this blog, and find it worth reading and commenting upon.

Because we are also part of history, modern food and cuisine are part of the story, and fair topics for this blog (though my preferred area of interest is historic food, particularly food before 1600 CE). Non-food issues are off-topic, and I reserve the right to remove off-topic comments without notice.
