lowkey wanted this to be slightly less recipe focused and more history/narrative focused. it kinda feels like when you could tell dickens got paid by the word and he made things longer, it feels like he gets paid by the page so he put a lot of illustrations and recipes in to save him from having to write as much.

okay THIS is more of what i wanted. tell me about pasteurization and the how and why and the pushback and ways they tried to find alternatives. tell me how condensed milk came about and how they altered recipes to make do with that.
