In this slide-accompanied lecture, food historian Peter G. Rose delves into the early history of the life of Saint Nicholas; explains the various changes in his veneration; and relates how he was brought to America by the Dutch in the 17th century, and again, transformed into Santa in the 19th century. The talk encompasses such subjects as literature, religion, the fine arts, and Dutch food ways to describe the extraordinary story of Saint Nicholas' generosity, which has had a lasting impact on American culture.

We gaan wat baantjes trekken op de ijsbaan in het centrum van Chicago. Breng je schaatsen mee of huur schaatsen voor $10.

I am sure the kids want to wear their Halloween costume the sooner the better. So let's all meet at Bill Barber Park (yes again LOL) and let them run around in their cute outfits. Let us all bring some food/drinks to share!And perhaps some toys for the kids, like a ball, kite ... Hope to see u there.

Please RSVP early so we can reserve large table at the back if we know more than five people are coming. Feel free to bring friends and Dutch speakers and Dutch learners are all welcome.

Food historian Peter G. Rose explores the foodways brought to America by the Dutch more than three centuries ago, and the way these foodways were adapted to new circumstances. Slides of 17th century Dutch art works depicting various foodstuffs are part of this lecture.
