Join local food aficionado Bill Loomis on a look back at the
appetites, tastes, kitchens, parties, holidays and everyday meals
that defined eating in Detroit, from the earliest days as a French
village to the start of the twentieth century. Whether it's at a
frontier farmers' market, a Victorian twelve-course children's
birthday party replete with tongue sandwiches or a five-cent-lunch
diner, food is a main ingredient in a community's identity and
history. While showcasing favorite fare of the day, this book also
explores historic foodways--how locals fished the Detroit River,
banished flies from kitchens without screens and harvested frog
legs with miniscule shotguns. Wedding feasts, pioneer grub, cooking
classes and the thriftless '20s are all on the menu, too.
