OLD WEST FACT: Cowboys have to eat!
Here's a look at frontier cowboy recipes and trailside cooking. Did you know that a ranch's cook shack was a private realm ruled over by a cantankerous master cook? He was a permanent member of the outfit and wielded even more power than the itinerant cooks who filled in on western cattle roundups and on the trail. He slept in the cook shack rather than in the bunkhouse, and he made certain the hands showed proper respect - which he sometimes enforced with the broad end of a skillet. The cowboy cook's authority lay in the fact that he provided one of the single most important elements, along with sleep, that a cowboy both cherished and needed. And the food had better have been top notch, otherwise, top hands wouldn't work for such a place.
-No one eats until Cookie calls
-When Cookie calls, everyone comes a runnin'
-Hungry cowboys wait for no man. They fill their plates, fill their bellies, and then move on so stragglers can fill their plates
-Cowboys eat first, talk later.
-It's okay to eat with your fingers. The food is clean
-If you're refilling the coffee cup and someone yells "Man at the pot."
-You're obliged to serve refills.
-Don't take the last serving unless your sure you're the last man.
-Food left on the plate is an insult to the cook.
-No running or saddling a horse near the wagon. And when you ride off, always ride down wind from the wagon.
-If you come across any decent firewood, bring it back to the wagon
-Strangers are always welcome at the wagon.
These are real recipes from the Old West
