| Ever wonder who the first person was to

| | posh patisseries, were likely dreamed up
|
| such matters all the time... so, we did a

| | by the common folk. Dandelion greens, an
|
| little research on shortbread to see what
| |
| | acquired taste but nevertheless popular
|
| age-old secrets the internet might
| |
| | in fine restaurants, were first eaten in
|
| reveal!Shortbread, like many other foods
| |
| | America during the Depression when food
|
| that we now consider delicacies, was
| |
| | was sparse and folks had to survive on
|
| believe-it-or-not, once snubbed by
| |
| | whatever they could find in the field. In
|
| royalty because it was made with butter,
| |
| | Mexico, the unforgettable avocado is
|
| which was considered a waste by-product
| |
| | known as the poor man's butter! And if
|
| of milk. Can you even imagine a time when
| |
| | you consider any of the wild game
|
| butter-rich foods weren't considered
| |
| | delicacies that high-end restaurants
|
| sheer decadence? We certainly can't!Yes,
| |

| |
| | survival who had to go out and catch
|
| butter, both of which were valued for
| |
| | their dinner themselves.So, after our
|
| their long shelf life, and dismissed as a
| |
| | little foray back in epicurean time, it's
|
| peasant food by the well-to-do who had
| |
| | clear that shortbread is just one of
|
| cash to throw around and apparently
| |
| | millions of foods that sprang from a need
|
| gallons of milk to waste freely.At

| Christmastime, poor families of the
