The Food Timeline

Since we aren’t watching our weight anymore …

The Food Timeline is a unique archive of links to web sites and information on food history and research, arranged in chronological order.

Ever wonder what foods the Vikings ate when they set off to explore the new world? How Thomas Jefferson made his ice cream? What the pioneers cooked along the Oregon Trail? Who invented the potato chip…and why? Welcome to the Food Timeline.

The Food Timeline is maintained by Lynne Olver, who is at pains to point out that she is not a chef!

(I think it is very appropriate that I found this page via my del.icio.us inbox!)
