Time Travel Food



Jon Townshend is an expert on life in colonial America, particularly the food that people ate. In his latest video, he imagines going the opposite direction. Instead of bringing 18th century food into the modern era, how about sending modern food back to the early United States? For example, how would you introduce an Egg McMuffin to John Adams? You'd make each component using familiar colonial techniques. Made from scratch, it has to be good! It certainly has more sausage than you'd ever get at McDonald's. With pancakes on the side, no less.

But that's not the only time Jon has used his "time machine." Watch him prepare a hamburger for Ben Franklin  and a pizza for George Washington at TastyTastic. (via Nag on the Lake)
