When the first settlers arrived on the New World mainland in the early 1600s, they found a bounty of game, seafood, fruit and fowl for substance and food, as well as magnificent forests that would provide wood for warmth, cooking and shelter. What they didn't find were dairy or poultry products, for there were no cows or chickens. The settlers immediately sent word back to Europe, and within a few months, cows and brewmasters were on the way. Chickens began to appear, but history doesn't record how they arrived. They were most likely from Indian tribes. Poultry quickly became a favorite! Preparation of meals took up much of the day. Menus grew to the point where they had to be written down.
