Dining Below Deck: Foodways at Sea Demonstration

About

Lobscouse, Spotted Dog, Plum Duff, Burgoo, Peas-Pudding, Salt Horse, Dandyfunk...It’s What’s for Dinner!
Join Historians Handmade History, LLC as we explore--and prepare--many of the provisions that sustained seamen, soldiers, and pirates in the 18th century. Experience the sights and smells of bubbling stews, steaming puddings, pies, and more. Take a turn crushing ship’s biscuit or helping with scullery chores as we explore the different foods, recipes, and techniques used to prepare a hearty meal at sea. It wasn’t all bad...but it wasn’t all good either! FREE.

Part of "Pirates Invade the Historic Upper Wolfsnare House" event sponsored by the Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach Historical Society. Pirate School, Colonial Games, Sea Dog Tavern, Local Craft Vendors, Food Trucks, House Tours and More!
