STORIES OF FOOD:
The Hamburger, a typical American food, came from Hamburg, Germany, in the 1870’s. It was ground beefsteak. In 1904 at the St.Louis World’s Fair, hamburgers were first sold on buns.
Ice cream cones were invented at the 1904 St.Louis World’s Fair, too. An ice cream stand ran out of glass dishes. A Salesman has a smart idea.. He rolled thin wafers from a pastry stand into a cone. The cone become an Ice cream “dish”!.
Popcorn is an American India food. Hostory suggests that they brought it to the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving feast in 1621.
Peanut butter was invented by an American doctor in 1890 for his patients. They needed a high-Protein food.
Raisins were first made as an accident! In 1873 the sun was very hot in
California. Juicy grapes dried up on the vines. One clever grower didn’t destroy the grapes. Instead he sold them as something special, “Peruvian delicacies”. And a new food was invented.
