The pottage they make is really interesting:
Pottage of chopped herbs: Mince, very fine- spinach, chives, parsley, marigold flowers, [chicory], strawberry and violet leaves. Stamp them with oatmeal in a bowl, pat chopped greens in with it: you may either put broth or water to them; if water, boil a good piece of butter in it; put [croutons] in the dish, and pour it over them.
It makes sense as a cold weather survival food with the few crops that would survive winter conditions in the US, but that's such a wildly different flavour profile from any modern US regional cuisine. Marigold is only sold in foreign spice mixes, chicory is only a novelty coffee substitute, I didn't even know violets were edible, and even savoury oatmeal is just a 2010s trend that fizzled immediately.
