I had to do a bit of research to figure out what the heck "Three Sisters" meant, then more research to figure out what the heck "pottage" was, since it's not exactly something that comes natural to my kitchen. "Three Sisters" refers to the Native American practice of growing corn, squash, and beans together in the same plot, or mound. "Pottage" was a thick stew made in medieval times, consisting of veggies and grains with little or no meat. I guess that in your part of the country, the schoolkids don't all take field trips to Plimoth Plantation. Around here its hard *not* to know what the "Three Sisters" and "pottage" are: Plimoth Plantation's explanation (for kids) of how the three sisters were grown: https://www.plimoth.org/learn/just-kids/homework-help/growing-food And see the sobaheg recipe: https://www.plimoth.org/learn/just-kids/recipes Link to post Share on other sites

That sobaheg recipe looks interesting! And the addition of turkey probably makes it a richer, and tastier dish than the veggie-focused pottage. Thanks for the pointers to interesting reads!

I should probably give a few of those recipes a try, since one of the folks on my mother's side of the family was a moderately known member of the Plimouth Colony. ⛵ Link to post Share on other sites
