Check Out These Unbelievably Weird Meals From The Past

May 12, 2010 by Shelley Thompson

It is no secret that food varies from decade to decade. Over the years, meals from the past are forgotten, and It is no secret that food varies from decade to decade. Over the years, meals from the past tend to be forgotten, and newer generations adopt eating habits than could have been strange to those before them. When we think of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Thanksgiving Day classics like stuffed turkey and pumpkin pie are the firsts that come to mind. But there are plenty of weirder foods people from that time ate. During colonial times, people had to use everything at their disposal, like entire animals or wild plants. Nowadays, we could not even fathom the idea of these dishes, but they were part of the people’s daily lives in the colonies. Here are some of the most unusual ones. So get ready to be surprised!

You could have had a delicious eel pie

When you think of delicious seafood, eels are definitely not the first thing that pops up in your head. You might think of shrimps, lobsters, or even other shellfish. Yet, during colonial times, eels were a fairly popular dish. And New England, people even came up with this next dish.

Yes, it sounds crazy, but eels were considered such a delicacy that fishers in the area would use lobsters as bait to catch them. Nowadays, we would prefer to eat lobster without even thinking about it. But it seems like around 300 years ago, people had a very different opinion.
