The Greenfield Village Cafeteria offers Americana foods, though I don't think they are anywhere near as authentic or well-researched as the exhibits in the old houses and industrial demonstrations. I did enjoy an indulgent plate of real mashed potatoes, a dried-cherry sausage with onions, and a Diet Pepsi (free refills all day with receipt). Rachel Ray might ask: "How authentic is that?"A boarding house's kitchen displays a patently fake fruit bowl and plaster cherry pie. The cutlery and china are no doubt antiques.
Quite a few of the reconstructed kitchens include original equipment and realistic food.
One kitchen included foods that were cooked "this week" -- turnovers, cookies, hand-made egg noodles, and corn biscuits. Two very nice women were there to share their stories of cooking and quilting, though the actual cooking seems to take place elsewhere.
