Excerpt: "California Culinary Experiences" from The Overland Monthly
A. I am a survivor of all the different eras of California amateur cookery. B. The human avalanche precipitated on
these shores in the rush of "49" and "50" was a mass of culinary ignorance. C. Cooking had always by us been
deemed a part of woman's kingdom. D. We knew that bread was made of flour, and for the most part so made by
woman. E. It was as natural that it should be made by them as that the sun should shine. F. Of the knowledge, skill,
patience and experience required to conduct this and other culinary operations, we realized nothing. So when
the first-the pork, bean and flapjack-era commenced, thousands of us boiled our pork and beans together an
equal period of time, and then wondered at the mysterious hardness of the nutritious vegetable. In the fall of
H.
"50" a useful scrap of wisdom was disseminated from Siskiyou to Fresno. It was that beans must be soaked
over night and boiled at least two hours before the insertion of the pork. And many a man of mark to-day never
experienced a more cheerful thrill of combined pride and pleasure, than when first he successfully accomplished
the feat of turning a flap-jack.
