I just got back from Washington DC and I'll post about my lobbying activities for the American Sheep Industry later in the week. One of the highlights before we started lobbying was the Food exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. They have Julia Child's Kitchen, and exhibits on the change in American food taste, the food pyramid and how having electricity in the home changed what America cooked.
Julia Child's Kitchen
This Oven has a built in Recipe Box
Julia Child's Cookbook Collection
2 copies of Joy of Cooking, one of my favorites
This is a great exhibit and fun to see the change in Food in just 50 years. The growth in ethnic foods like Mexican and Thai, along with the wine industry. How refrigeration gave us orange juice, bagged salad and tomatoes year round. It also showed how grilling moved from a Sunday afternoon to something that many families including my own do several nights a week.
The exhibit makes you think about where the Food Industry will go in the next 50 years. If you are in Washington, DC take the time to stop in and visit this great exhibit.
