Join Pallookaville Fine Foods for a journey through time, as Jim Stacy shares his anthropological culinary series.

Starting in March, Pallookaville will host several dinners themed "Eat like a..." where guests will enjoy a four-course menu, with wine and beer, centered around our ancestors.

March 3: Eat like an Ancient Roman

March 24: Eat like a Native American

April 7: Eat like an American Colonist

April 28: Eat like the Victorian Upper Class

All dinners begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for individual dinners are $50 per person, or $180 for the series.

An example of the Ancient Roman menu includes soft-boiled quail's eggs with pine nuts and lovage, white fish fricassee, r

oasted wild boar with apricot ragout and slipper bread, and pear pudding.
For the Native American dinner Stacy says via Facebook,

"I will be picking of dishes representative of different regions of North America consisting of the Southeast for one course, the Plains for another, the Pacific Northwest for yet another and the Northeast corridor for the final course. There will be no corn. The Nations that the recipes have come from will be specifically identified.... Why? Because foodstuffs varied widely from region to region...There are differences and changes in cuisine over the many millennia indigenous peoples have inhabited North America. Changes resulting from outside influence, hardships, genocide and decline of ancestral lands. Our menu will try to be as broad as possible and as appealing to modern palates as possible."
