Starting where I left off yesterday in the Learning Centre, these shelves of preserved foods caught my eye.
There were also mock set-ups you would see in market places, bakeries, and other food shops.
The theme of food preservation carried on, with modern techniques examined in panels and items- freezing, freeze-dried food, and even irradiation.
Heading upstairs to the second floor, I passed by this painting of a cow.
Those preserves caught my eye. I remember my grandmother's basement on her Minnesota farm was filled with shelves of items she's preserved ... a lot of jams and jellies for sure. Love that cow! Moo!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very sad looking cow. I have never tried to preserve food, I suppose because I am fortunate to liveina world where food is readily available.
ReplyDeleteQue maravilha, gostei de ver aqueles preparados em frascos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

I think I can see guerkins on the shelf. Yummy...
ReplyDeleteA few of your photos remind me of my late grandmother's pantry shelf, filled with veggies and fruits she had preserved. I like the cow art.
ReplyDeleteI think we could all learn something at the Learning Center. I have never canned food...although my great grandmother certainly did.
ReplyDelete...the first shot looks like an Amish home!
ReplyDeleteI love August and September. Time for preserving!
ReplyDeleteCute cow :-)
ReplyDelete@Lowell: my mother tended to make a lot of jam.
ReplyDelete@Fun60: I thought it was a rather cute looking cow.
@Francisco: thank you.
@Klara: I'll have to look up what those are.
@Mildred: I did too.
@Janey: I don't know if my grandparents did.
@Tom: it would!
@Marie: a busy time of year.
@Gunn: indeed!
I love the bilingualism of your city, even in signs.

Food preservation...a crucial part of survival. Each group has it's own tradition and method of food preservation.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up in Illinois, my grandmother's pantry looked a lot like that first photo. She canned all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun exhibit! I'm sure I can learn a lot from this :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the painting of cute cow!
So many shelves with preserved food, I wonder if the food is there to be eaten?
ReplyDeleteA surprising finale with that cow, William !
ReplyDeleteSweet cow, Interesting looks at the past
ReplyDeleteThat must be a great place for school trips - so much info for the kids!
ReplyDelete@Janis: we've got bilingualism everywhere.
ReplyDelete@Red: that's true.
@Sharon: and some still do!
@Tamago: so do I.
@Marleen: I think that the jars contain mock ups, though I could be wrong. There was, however, something upstairs that was meant to be eaten, which I'll show tomorrow.
@Karl: I figured it was good to end there!
@Cloudia: thank you!
@RedPat: I imagine this place is busy throughout the school year with field trips.
This looks like a fascinating place -- and I love the cow!
ReplyDeleteYou find the most intriguing and informative places!

I like the paintaing of that cow.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh. I love this. So cool.
ReplyDeleteI've already mentioned all the things Mama canned. I won't bore you again.
ReplyDelete@Jeanie: it is!
ReplyDelete@Carol: I've enjoyed visiting this place and showing it here.
@Jan: I do as well.
@Whisk: it is indeed.
@Mari: she'd have recognized a lot of this.
as a kid my mom would do a lot of canning ...we did have a garden then too .. i really miss those days so so much. the fresh yummies. ( :

ReplyDeleteA lot of this looks familiar.
ReplyDeleteYes, those shelves of preserved foods certainly caught my eye too!

That really does look old-fashioned. It takes me back to downtown Toronto, back in the day.
ReplyDelete@Beth: my parents had a garden for many years.
ReplyDelete@Kay: they do!
@Norma: it would.
@Jan: thank you.
@Jennifer: thanks!
