What I learned at Strawbery Banke was how long it took to prepare a feast for about thirty five guests including relatives. Each woman from each family would prepare around 100 hundred pies for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the rest of winter. It would take around a couple days for it to make. Some of the tools they used was the s hook for cooking vegetables, they also used s hooks that were closer to the fire to make the pot hotter and colder like on a stove.
