There have been over 4,500 virtual food history talks, demos and tours by museums, historical associations, small businesses, groups, and others.
Some months during the past three years had over 250 talks. About a fourth of the talks are taped and will continue to be freely available in the posts by topic/subject. If you know of any other talks, please use the "contact form" to the right. ENJOY!

LIST OF TAPED TALKS AND INFO
Ice harvesting 1889 (click to enlarge)
During the past three years I have written many posts highlighting subjects from the main calendar or related to the lockdown. Taped talks continue to be added to subject posts and eventually talks not taped will be deleted (except in Archives lists). Due to the ever increasing number of talks (over 200) each month, I have removed all the info and links from the end of this main post, perhaps make new post or add back when fewer talks.
