Welcome to the latest edition
of the Food History

Halloween American Tradition,
So are St. Louis BBQ Pork Steaks
(Yeah the OTHER BBQ Item)
So it's almost Halloween and I suppose I should be doing a
newsletter on the history of Trick or Treat.
It truly is historically Americana, and European to some degree
and it's becoming a popular event in
other countries, thanks to America.....(is that a good thing?)
Heck yea isn't it just a lot of fun.
I couldn't do better than this for a history of Halloween.
Short Sweet, and Lots of Cool new Factoids.
I really recommend this, and I hit the subscribe button and so I get an email notice if they have a new video out.
So Let's get onto important things
like a truly Americana food,
and hey it's getting down there and towards winter and our BBQ days may be numbered.
I met Greg Baily an accomplished author that writes also about Food History, and from St. Louis.
He sent me this article to see if I knew about this icon of the "Gateway to the West" city?
I had no idea but was glad to discover, because this technique is simple but unique and tasty
and will definitely become part of my Food History Menu, and maybe Halloween
I did know that St. Louis is getting known for a distinct style of BBQ,
especially St. Louis Style Ribs, I didn't know that they also had
a cuisine all it's own,
with dishes like, "The Slinger", "The Concrete", "Gooey Butter Cake"
to name just a few. You can view more St. Louis Favorites Here
So go here now or while your waiting for your Trick or Treaters,
and read about...
