Description: The old-time cowboy cooking is definitely a lost art! I think it is a lost art because most of the old-time cowboy cooks who cooked for the trail drives, bunkhouses, and cook shacks were men and they never wrote, anything down. Even the cattle barons had men cooks who worked at their ranches and even at the brothels the madam usually had a male cook who also served as a house bouncer.
As time went on, there came an end to the trail drives, saloons that served meals, and ranch life became more commercialized along with commercialized food. Therefore, we came upon a time of the lost art of this original cowboy cooking and entered an age of the modern-day cooking, which doesn't come close to comparing with the savory taste of old-time cowboy cooking.
