Comments from Dtbohrer

• "though British settlers had lived in Virginia, along the James River, since 1608" - seems redundant, the sentence already says that British has come before these particular British
• a wikilink for "pease porridge" would be helpful
• "almost daily dish in the Delaware Valley and cook books specialized in puddings and dumplings" - the sentence sounds like a run-on
  • I suggest: "almost daily dish in the Delaware Valley. Local cookbooks also specialized in puddings and dumplings." (I always thought "cookbook" was one word)
• Overlinking of common terms
• some of the images don't use the default thumbnail setting
• the location of the "backcountry" is a little vague
• "due to the vast amounts of ships and artillery entering the ocean waters" - Why did this cause a decline in lobster population?

Interesting article, I did always wondered where scrapple came from. I can add more comments, if they're needed. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 04:35, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
