I've never tried an oyster, but in the 1800s they were so plentiful people would eat them by the dozens. Now, probably not so plentiful.

It's amazing what they managed to ship into those mountains. Fun post!

I'm getting ready to stick my nose into the necessities of life for an entire crew of working cowboys living on a shoestring. Should be fun. ;o) Devon Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147639030654251761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-72165039071380048832013-01-30T13:31:58.560-08:002013-01-30T13:31:58.560-08:00Oysters seem to have been a staple in many of thes...Oysters seem to have been a staple in many of these places.

Wasting food still bothers me, but I live with big dogs who take care of most of the problem. :-)<br /><br />I no longer avoid ordering ocean fish, but I suspect people who have lived near the ocean can tell the difference between what you get here in Colorado and what you get seaside.Ellen O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792559025801895596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-81662483881978238182013-01-30T13:24:26.580-08:002013-01-30T13:24:26.580-08:00Thanks, Caroline.

I still don't know how they got them with no rail service closer than Nevada.

Interesting about the take home or takeout food, guess I thought they just ate it all at one setting. A few years ago we owned a restaurant and an old cowboy came in three or four times a week. Sometimes he would tell the waitress, “Tell them in back to not put too many fries on my plate, or too many mashed potatoes”. He told us that cowboys always ate everything giving them so when he wasn’t too hungry he didn’t want as much-fascinating old fella.Neil A.
