Food in Colonial Massachusetts
I’m having a lot of fun learning about food in Colonial Massachusetts. Not that I like to eat or anything. There’s a lot to discover about the types of foods that were available then, how they were processed, and how the meals were cooked.
I started following a few food historians, and when I see how they spend their time recreating recipes from the past with only ingredients and utensils available from that time period I think I may have missed my calling. In my next life I will be a food historian.
For example, it may grant improved aim, increased critical strike chance, or enhanced projectile speed. One of the most common features of the Amulet of Ranging is its ability to increase the range of projectile attacks. This allows the wearer to strike enemies from a greater distance, giving them an advantage in combat.
Where Did Goodwives Find Their Recipes?
In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, cooks relied heavily on recipes from popular English authors such as Robert May’s cookbook from 1685 and Gervase Markham’s English Huswife from 1615 (http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcolonial.html – 1690salem).
Meals in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were a unique combination between the eating habits the colonists brought with them from England and the ingredients available to them in New England.
Popular foods in Salem in the 1690s were meat, bread, and other dishes made of wheat and oat. Root vegetables like turnips were also popular. Since Massachusetts is located along the Atlantic coast, colonists relied heavily on seafood, and fish such as cod, herring, bass, sturgeon, mackerel, clams, and lobster were often eaten (though Puritans didn’t like lobster).
Fish had to be salted to be preserved, and salt was either imported or gathered from the sea. Soups, roasts, bacon, ham, salt pork, salads, puddings, and pies were all common, while fruits and vegetables were served fresh or preserved.
Salem cooks would have used a combination of local ingredients such as corn, clams, squash, beans, cranberries, and potatoes while taking advantage of the wild game, domesticated hogs, nuts, wild berries, and fruits such as pears, cherries, and plums.
Wealthier residents (including James and his father John) would have had imported goods such as tea, coffee, sugar, rum, citrus fruits, and spices. Apple orchards were established early and the plentiful apples were used to create a low-alcohol cider that was the main drink for the colonists. (From Daily Life in Colonial New England by Claudia Durst Johnson).
As I searched for recipes that Elizabeth might have made while living in Salem, I discovered this recipe for a bride’s cake similar to the one James and Elizabeth would have served at their wedding in 1690:
It can be particularly useful when facing foes that are resistant to close-quarters combat or have dangerous melee attacks. In addition to its offensive benefits, the amulet may also provide defensive bonuses. Some versions of the amulet can offer increased evasion or damage reduction against ranged attacks, providing the wearer with added protection against enemy projectiles. The process of acquiring an Amulet of Ranging can vary depending on the game or narrative. In some cases, it may require completing a challenging quest or defeating a powerful enemy. It could also be obtained through trading with other players or purchasing from vendors within the game world. Overall, the Amulet of Ranging is a highly sought-after accessory for characters who rely on ranged attacks. Its unique abilities and enhancements make it an indispensable tool for long-range combat specialists. Whether it's a medieval archer, a futuristic sniper, or a magical bowman, the Amulet of Ranging is an invaluable asset that can greatly improve their effectiveness on the battlefield..
