I stumbled across this book from another post recently that completely changed how I think about food.

We’re so used to fridges, supermarkets, and next day delivery that I honestly never stopped to think about how people actually ate before all that existed. This book is basically a collection of old recipes that were designed to last months or even years without refrigeration. The same kind of food our great grandparents (and great great grandparents) relied on.

What surprised me most wasn’t even the recipes, it was the mindset. Everything was about making food stretch, using what you had, and not relying on systems that could disappear overnight. Reading it made me realize how dependent we are now compared to even a couple generations ago.

I’ve tried a handful of the recipes so far. Some are definitely outside my normal rotation, but a few were genuinely good and oddly satisfying knowing they’d keep without power or fancy storage.

It’s less of a cookbook and more of a little history lesson disguised as one. Made me appreciate how resilient people used to be, especially when it came to food. I wanted to make this post as a bit of a shoutout to the creators for putting it together and the person who shared it here a couple months back (I couldn't find the old post to go back and comment).

Here's the website I bought the cookbook from, it's a pretty niche book so I don't think it's available on any mainstream platforms - survivalsuppers.com

[Homemade] Beef Rib Pastrami Reuben Sandwich

Smoked up some pastrami beef ribs the other day, and with a bit left over, couldn’t think of any better way to use it than to make a pastrami reuben sandwich. Opted for a toasted everything bun instead of the classic rye, and I am not mad about it.

[homemade] Steak and Roast Potato

Potato was boiled in beef stock and aromatics then roasted in the oven in olive oil and pork fat. Steak was dry brined a day then cooked on a stainless steel pan, unfortunately pan was a bit too hot so steak got a bit overcooked. Sauce was a pan sauce with garlic and shallots then deglazed with sake and finished with cream and parsley.
