Abstract
The Early Californian Larder and the Gold Rush Food Revolution relates the story of indigenous, Spanish, and Mexican foodways developed in California prior to statehood in 1850. These groups established the state’s first foodway systems. The Gold Rush of 1849 brought a new world cuisine to the Bay Area as people from around the world brought their food and culinary techniques from their homeland. This marked the beginning of a California Cuisine much different than the American Colonial and Early Republic food systems.
