I went to the Sheepherder's Ball in Boise one year and coul't stop eating--and drinking--and them kept me dancing. Their history in America just isn't known enough so it's very very satisfying to find someone who's telling their story!
I'm going to feature your newsletter in what I call my Saturday News Scraps. It's a gathering of wonderful odd bits of news and ideas that land on my desk each week. Check it out on Saturday at patwillard.substack.com I hope you like it!
I don't have a lot of subscribers--and a lot of them aren't food people--but they love culinary history and you do a lot of interesting stuff, so it's a win all around!
You can make me almost taste the dishes in your essays. I feel like I gain a few pounds every time I read a new one. Thanks for yet another piece that has me salivating for another cuisine to try!
Wonderful piece. Thank you.

Thank you! I grew up with a bunch of Basque in rural Northern California, so they seem pretty familiar to me.
