Events › Really Old Food, A Love Story

Explore food that is so old, unusual, or meaningful that no one dares throw it away.

From the 150-year-old pickle that resides in a Washington museum, to the foods found buried with mummies, and even the petrified banana that sparked a Banana Museum, discover why certain kinds of very old food still grip our imagination. Why are some foods intentionally tucked away or preserved due to unusual, unintentional, or special circumstances? In this talk, hear and share stories of how these and other vintage vittles hold memories, tell stories, and connect us with family, culture, and history.

Sponsored by Humanities Washington, Vashon Park District, and Vashon Friends of the Library.
