The King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, established in 1770, still serves historic items. It's cute to visit a restaurant's website where the menu reads like:
"Soupe Another Way $8 — FIRSTLY, take great care that your soup-pots and covers are kept very clean inside and out. Lastly, for all brown and white soups cut the crust of a French roll in round or square pieces, and crisp them before the fire." https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/stay-play/dining/histor...
