My papaw says it would have been "corns and tack" for eating en route; --
"corn" a generic terms for grains/oatmeal/rye/wheat etc. and "tack" being a
variety of journey breads and tea/fruit type of cakes that would have been
made with the last of any perishables or dried berries/nuts/beans/jerky they
had around. Likely some of the same things you would find in working class
lunch pails in that time period -- things easy to carry and handle and not
requiring refrigeration.
We'll be doing something similar and maybe crafting something that looks
like a blood sausage - for it's gross out factor.

ROFLMAO ... just for kicks, find your local German butcher and buy a
small piece of the real thing, to offer samples to those who aren't
grossed out.


Only if there is time - one is 45 minutes away, the other 90.....

Wait a minute there is a real German butcher nearby? I don't have
to make my NY visitors bring it with them? Cheryl email me about
where they are.
