History of Greymount Through Food Dorian Wallace
	Henry Greymount founded Greymount in 1832, since then artifacts found in backyards and community property has revealed the history of Greymount.  The oldest known food artifact is a piece of bread; the dough was made from a local rye and mixed with local berries.  This was the main staple of the first settlement of Greymount.   After this, a mouse was found wrapped in the skin of an armadillo.  This was the main element of the residents of 1851 when there was a drought and only road kill was found to eat.  After the drought of 1851, the residents rebelled against simple food and government and started dining on roasted lamb and rosemary seasoned vegetables.  This diet fad did not last long as the residents experienced a flux of immigrants in the 1890’s.   The immigrants, from all over, brought their native foods and diets.  Greymount experienced a delightful switch from a staple diet to an eclectic mix of food, including stuffed grape leaves, chicken burritos, jalapeno cornbread, clam chowder, sushi and much more.  The 1920’s brought about meals consisting of sandwiches and milk such that families could spend time importing spirits illegally. The diets of the immigrants were blended together in the civil rights era of the1960’s to form Greymount style meals; sample meals included chicken burritos with grape stuffed leaves and jalapeno cornbread or clam chowder with cucumber sushi. Now the diets of Greymount residents are as varied as its residents.
