Foods and Feasts of Colonial Virginia


Today we made our annual research trip to jamestown Settlement for their Foods and Feasts living history program. Everytime we learn something new about the old foodways (English and Powhatan)of the 17th century. Here are some of the highlights: the groaning board, corn cakes, rockfish wrapped in clay to bake in hot coals, the fort bread oven, envious of the clothes, a VERY large barrel and a handsome man, neat little storage chest.
