Cornbread & Coffee

“

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence

of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.”

“The Professor at the Breakfast-Table” (Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., 1858)

In the pursuit of Knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Way,
every day something is dropped.

Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.

Breakfast Beer

…A Study of Beer and Brewing in 18th-Century England… | Bryan A. Guderian, 2001

 

The Pilgrims at the 1621 Plymouth harvest celebrationΒ  almost certainly had a morning drink, and it was very likely beer.Β  Here’s the evidence from primary sources and historical context:
  • Beer was the standard breakfast beverage for English people in the early 17th century, including the Pilgrims (many of whom were Separatists from Scrooby, England). Water was often unsafe or distrusted, especially in new settlements, so even children and pregnant women drank “small beer” (low-alcohol, around 1–3% ABV).
  • The Mayflower’s cargo manifest and passenger accounts show they brought large quantities of beer. Edward Winslow’s letter (December 1621) mentions they were running dangerously low on beer by late 1621, implying it was a daily staple they were rationing.
  • William Bradford (governor of Plymouth) wrote in Of Plymouth Plantation that when the Mayflower arrived, the crew was anxious to leave because their beer was nearly goneβ€”they considered beer essential for health and survival.
  • On the day of the 1621 harvest celebration itself, the Wampanoag guests (90+ men) arrived unexpectedly. The English served what beverages they had, and surviving accounts suggest beer was among them (along with whatever distilled spirits or wine remained).

Codex Alimentarius

The Codex Alimentarius Commission regularly reviews and updates its standards and guidelines to reflect the latest scientific knowledge and technological advancements in the food industry. These standards are voluntary, but they serve as a reference for countries and international organizations when developing their own food safety and quality regulations. Compliance with Codex standards can facilitate international trade by ensuring that food products meet common criteria for safety and quality.

Some of the key areas addressed by Codex standards include:

Food safety: Codex sets standards for food contaminants, residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs, food additives, and microbiological criteria to ensure that food products are safe for consumption.

Food labeling: Codex provides guidelines on how food products should be labeled, including information on ingredients, nutrition, allergens, and more.

Food hygiene: It establishes principles and guidelines for food handling, processing, and storage to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Food quality: Codex standards also cover the quality attributes of various food products, including fruits, vegetables, and various processed foods.

Food additives: Codex regulates the use of food additives to ensure they are safe for consumption and serve a specific purpose in food production.

Residue limits: It sets maximum residue limits for various chemicals, such as pesticides and veterinary drugs, in food products to protect consumers from potential harm.
