A guilty pleasure of mine is watching Corporal's Corner videos, addressing different camping/bushcrafting things. Camping is a dream of mine, meeting my vague ideas of manliness, while also being a hobby I can truthfully say I lack time to pursue - Alabama weather encourages this.
Basically, these videos provide me an excuse for me to get cool outdoorsy stuff for my kids to inherit in 30+ years. I know they'll thank me then.
These videos led to Townsends, a channel dedicated to the 18th century lifestyle, including recipes. From there, I found Tasting History, particularly these episodes about mead and historical butterbeer. This could make for an entertaining way to teach history - people remember food.
Given how many games are either pseudo-historical settings or actual historical settings, these are ideal videos, if only to set the mood.
I bring all this up because there are many folks who not only feed their gaming groups, but go out of their way to make thematically appropriate food - there is even an official DnD cookbook (and an unofficial book of DnD-themed drink recipes)!
So if you cook for your group, try some of these recipes.
