Hello all! Nice to finally join you. I'm Lindsay: a literary food historian, knowledge exchange professional, and nature nerd.
I'll very likely be posting about the nineteenth century, Scottish food, or fun birds and mushrooms I've seen. Oh, and tins, of course.

Tons of fun today talking about how tea and sugar percolated into #19thC fiction, from abolitionist writing to Dracula! So many wonderful talks. Thanks to Mackintosh at the Willow, @drlindsaymiddleton.bsky.social @tenementkitchen.bsky.social for a marvellous event.

The only way to *really* do professional meetings is with novelty (food) pens.
Rushing around ahead of a meeting this morning, the only
