History of the Pantry |
 |
|
A pantry is a room
where
food, provisions or dishes are stored and serves in
an ancillary capacity to the
kitchen. The derivation of the word is from the same
source as the
Old French term
paneterie; that is from pain, the
French form of the
Latin panis for bread.
In a
late
medieval
hall, there were separate rooms for the various
service functions and
food storage. A pantry was where
bread was kept and food preparation associated with
it done. There were similar rooms for storage of
bacon and other
meats (larder),
alcoholic beverages (buttery)
known for the "butts" of barrels stored there, and
cooking (kitchen).
In America, pantries
evolved from Early American "butteries", built in a cold
north corner of a Colonial home [more commonly referred
to and spelled as "butt'ry"], into a variety of pantries
in self-sufficient farmsteads. Butler's pantries, or
china pantries, were built between the dining room and
kitchen of a middle class English or American home,
especially in the latter part of the 19th into the early
20th centuries. Great estates, such as
Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina
[1] or
Stan Hywet Hall in Akron, Ohio
[2] had large warrens of pantries and other domestic
"offices", echoing their British 'Great House'
counterparts.
