Please join the Lanpher Library and the Lamoille Neighbors on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 4:00 at the Lanpher Memorial Library in Hyde Park for the Vermont Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Program:

Soup to Nuts, An Eccentric History of Food with Vermont Author Rebecca Rupp.
The history of what and how we eat encompasses everything from the prehistoric mammoth luau to the medieval banquet to the modern three squares a day.

Find out about the rocky evolution of table manners, the not-so-welcome invention of the fork, the awful advent of portable soup, and the surprising benefits of family dinners – plus some catchy info on seasonal foods. What's the story of chocolate? Why do the Irish eat corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day? Who invented lemonade? Why are turkeys called turkeys? And what are sugarplums anyway?

This is a FREE program open to all!
Please call the Lanpher Library with any questions: 802-888-4628
