Mystery Kitchen Objects
Almost every local museum has food-related objects in their collections. These range from tractors and farm implements, to kitchen utensils and equipment, to plant and animal specimens, to traditional table textiles, to cookbooks and historic photographs, to fish nets or tools used by indigenous cultures, to household items from archaeological contexts.
