This Week in Food History
Food Manufacturing, an e-journal is starting a "This Week in Food History" weekly feature. I think this will be cool, so I'm going to post the link to the week's article each week.
This week, corn flakes, Jell-O, and other items.

Very cool Martha, thank you, I hope to add it to my QA/Food safety updates at the plant each week too!
nice link Martha. I have read the article through and through.
am waiting for next weekly.
No booze. Worst idea, ever!
These are great! Thank you so much for sharing :spoton:
This week, we learn about a mega-merger, go back to the '50s to hear about a cheezy patent, and found out that the Angus was on Agnes, and it was very cool!

I could just eat a big bag of salt and vinegar crisps (chips) washed down with an ice cold pepsi.
Unfortunately not these days...
Thanks for sharing Martha, I am reading them.

FRITO'S! Hmmm
OK maybe not for breakfast (as it is in the States...) :ejut:
I missed this week's email in my inbox, or maybe it got lost in cyberspace.
No matter, I searched for it and found that...
We go from Ice cream to Nuts, via Pizza and Cracker Jack.
Enjoy.

This week we see the birth of a giant, and the start of some small things.

These are awesome - thanks, Martha!
Interesting about the history of barcodes...it gives me something fresh to talk about in the pub. :smile:
Cheers,

Gee Whizz, it's a Mad Cow and the birth of the FDA and USDA.

For this week, we see a thwarted attempt to sell some trade secrets, the birth of an American standard place to eat, and when we started thinking about something being "better than sliced bread."

This week we ponder a fluffy sweet treat, a puffy buttery treat, the vehicle for selling a meaty treat, and the liquid to wash them all down.
Enjoy.

For this week, we think of the cheese that caused a political uproar, the start of uniformity in cheese, some beef to go with that cheese, and trans fat being removed by (where else) California.
Bon appetite!

Now we will consider the origins of food named for a beloved grandchild, a candy that is out of this world, and a food from the New World that was the subject of an oft-quoted line from a fantasy tale from Middle Earth.

Fun stuff! Thanks!
This week we have the start of sparkles, a Presidential response to an uprising about booze, and a King taking on a giant.

Today, it's two O's and an N. The O's were debuted today, and the N was born.

This week, we see the start of two trademarks: one that became a comic legend and the other that was for a candy that brought a breath of fresh air. But we need to recall the other news, which was due to some tainted beef.
