Katie Luther had a good variety of grains at her disposal for cooking. Wheat was not as common as it is now but grains like rye, oats, and barley were common and often combined with wheat to make bread. Rice also started to be used at this time.

Barley and oats would also have been used to make stews such as pottage. Pottage is a stew made mostly of vegetables and grains. Meat was added depending on its availability. It was cooked in a large kettle and could stay on the fire for days. When some was eaten, more ingredients could be added. The next day’s pottage could possibly be quite different from the day before.

Breads were often made in a roundish shape and torn into individual servings since they were used mostly for sopping up gravy or getting every last bite out of the soup bowl. Other bread products, such as pretzels and biscuits were also common. Noodles, such as spätzle, were common as a side dish.

Of course, Katie would have made her bread by hand, possibly even using the grain from her farms such as at Zölsdorf.

"Why do we memorize Scripture? Not because our salvation depends on it; not because God will reject us if we don’t. We memorize Scripture because it is good — because God’s Word is 'perfect, reviving the soul … rejoicing the heart … enlightening the eyes' (Psalm 19). We do it, as Reed Lessing points out, 'because the biblical Word connects us to the incarnate Word, the Word made flesh — Jesus our Lord, who comes for us and for our salvation.'"

The September issue of The Lutheran Witness celebrates and offers practical guidance for learning God’s Word by heart, with contributions from Reed Lessing, Anne and Ryan Tinetti, Gene Edward Veith, and others. Link in comments.
