North Country Foodie • February 2020
Lookback: Food Edition F
Compiled by Ben Rowe
ood writer Deborah Carter is quoted as saying, “You have to taste a culture to understand it.” While reading a newspaper from a century ago will not put the flavors of their food on your taste buds, you can still get a sense of how the North Country ate back then. Collected on this page are food, restaurant, and grocery advertisements found in issues of the Plattsburgh Daily Press from the year 1920. For other glimpses into the past, read the weekly Lookback column printed every Monday in the PressRepublican, featuring local news clipping from 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago.
