F for Foodways

In the 18th century, food was extremely important in social lives. Dining was a common way to spread and learn information in this time. In upper-class house-holds people could dine for up to two hours, and to flaunt their social standings they would serve  variety of foods. The middle-class had less of a variety with some of the same foods as the  upper-class. Finally, the lower class was restricted to one-pot meals. Since they were not able to get huge variety of food, they stuck to simple things like hominy.
