Society - Dogwood Chapter
The LSDOS has chapters in several States who meet on a
Saturday during the month to engage in cooking in a Camp Dutch Oven. This
method of preparing food has been around for many years. When the Lewis and
Clark Expedition got back to St. Louis, they had only two items left with them
from the trip. They had their guns and their Dutch Ovens. These pots were
prized by the frontiersmen who settled our country.
The members of the LSDOS enjoy keeping this traditional
method of preparing food alive by getting together and cooking in the pots. The
Dogwood Chapter was organized about 4 years ago and the members meet every 1st
Saturday of each month at the Tyler State Park to cook, socialize, and eat some
of the best food ever tasted. Cooking in a Dutch Oven is not only not hard to
do, but it is a lot of fun.
So, stop by our Demo exhibit site on 4th Street and we
will be happy to show you how to cook in a Dutch Oven and we will also hand out
a biscuit or two.
