Description
It's the last Episode of Season 4!<br /><br />And I think I've finally answered one of my opening questions - why did America make our grocery stores the way we did? <br />As soon as Americans could, we ignored the food on the ground (unless it was familiar like deer or duck or pigeon) and instead brought our own provisions. <br /><br />But when you do that, and don't develop local talent - the selection end up terribly limited.<br />So now in modern America - we seem to be attempting to make up for lost time... by making our grocery store selection even larger.<br /><br />Check out this last episode before I go study the terrible food of war.<br /><br />Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor Turtle<br />Show Notes: <a href="https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/</a><br />Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com<br />Threads: @THoAFood<br />Instagram: @THoAFood<br />& some other socials... @THoAFood
