An odd realization stemming from a strange late night convorsation between CP and myself:

I've been to several historical recreated villages from the colonial era on the east coast. These are places where buildings from the time are preserved, and people dress in period costumes, demonstrating what life was like during the time. There'd be women tending gardens, a baker baking bread, and invariably a blacksmith making stuff. Sometimes they'd even give some small bit of metal work to the visitors (I've still got a square nail lying around somewhere). It ocurred to me last night that while you are guaranteed to see a butter churn at these recreated villages, and maybe even someone pretending to churn butter, not once do I remember getting to taste any hand-churned butter on the spot. Which made me realize that at that point in history, it was easier to smith metal than to make butter.
