The one process in the whole business of turning wheat into bread when time is of the essence is the harvest. It’s back-breaking work, and the slightest delay can ruin the quality of the grain. In Europe, a ready supply of peasants got the job done. In America, labour, especially in the newly settled midwest, was extremely scarce. Inventors had to come up with machines.
@thesugarchef Good to know. Reading some of the technical details was pretty scary. But what surprised me most, and made me sad, was that it was the small bakers who called forth the monster.
@eatthispodcast It’s appreciated. Episode #19 at the 1:45 mark. As a professional pastry chef and bread enthusiast, the music properly conveyed my sentiment.
@vineyardbaker Thanks. I do like to have a little fun.
Sound production is excellent,I too enjoyed your sound bite selection of BOC’s Don’t fear the Reaper, fits perfectly for the topic
@jojolemon Nothing gets past you.
