Cereal and rice only.

I am always looking up things about Cleveland Ohio. I saw a site about the first settler Lorenzo Carver pictures of his log cabin home. The picture of the hearth/fireside with cooking utensils. Can anyone shed some information on type of pans and what would they have cooked at the time?(Lorenzo Carver 1767-1814 d.)

Look for reenactment sites or museums such as Westville, GA, Mt. Vernon, ... They often have demos of daily chores and trades.

This is a great place for eighteenth century supplies as well as some very interesting and informative videos. The primary focus of the videos is food. I've tried a number of these recipes and have been very impressed. They carry reprints of old cookbooks.

Visit the cabin and ask! The interpreters working at these historical sites live for these kinds of questions.

But copper, brass and iron were most common at the end of the 18th century.

Imagine you and persons living with you have to eat from what is in your kitchen/pantry today, how many days of food do you have?
I am far from shops and unable to go grocery shopping myself. Usually is 5 days food stretching it out 8, maybe even 10 days says my teen. My household is 2 adults, 1 teen.
The recent thread on germans told to stockpile food/water got me thinking ........hence my question here.

A couple of months minimum and probably longer.

Right now, fridge supplies are low, but the freezer and the pantry could probably get me out to about 15-20 days.

Good food about 2 weeks worth for 2 people.


Stock up and emergency food. Probably a couple of years.

[Almrausch]

Fresh food for one week and dry food like lentils,beans,rice,pasta for many months or longer and peanut butter,jams,honey for weeks. Frozen I have vegetables,bread,cakes,fish so I am stocked up well.
