Pork and Beans
--Take two quarts of dried white beans, (the small ones are best,) pick out any imperfections, and put them to soak in cold water, more than to cover them, let them remain one night; the next day, about two hours before dinner time, throw off the water; have a pound of nicely corned pork, a rib piece is best; put the beans in an iron dinner-pot; score the rind or skin of the pork, in squares or diamonds, and lay it on the beans, put in hot (not boiling) water to them, add a small dried red pepper, or a saltspoon-ful of cayenne; cover the pot close, and set it over a gentle fire for one hour; then take a tin basin, or earthen pudding-pan, rub the inside over with a bit of butter, and nearly fill it with the boiled beans, lay the pork in the centre, pressing it down a little; put small bits of butter over the beans, dredge a little flour oer them, and the pork, and set it in a moderately hot oven, for nearly one hour..."
---Mrs. Crowen's American Lady's Cook Book [New York] 1847 (p. 115)

Thats what id buy if i lived in the wild west.If i wanted chicken and eggs ill have to raise them
 
Leave the sausage out ok? I would love to live back in those days.But if i was born deaf there i wouldn't survived. Cause you need hearing to live in the wild west. You gotta pay attention all the time know whats going on surrounding you. Cause if people are shooting and you don't hear shots you might be dead if you don't get out of there.

Heard of Deaf Smith?

Erastus Smith was hearing impaired. Despite this handicap, however, Smith became one of Sam Houston's most reliable and most trusted scouts. He was a man of few words, but was well known for his coolness in the presence of danger.

Born April 19, 1787 in Dutchess County, New York, Smith moved with his parents to Mississippi Territory at the age of eleven. He first came to Texas in 1817 but stayed only a short time. He returned permanently in 1821, however, to help restore his health.

Yes , same here, I love their breakfast. :D

Sometime, I have full breakfast food for dinner, such as eggs, biscuits, diced potatoes that fried with butter and grits (with milk and cheddar cheese).

Did cowboys eat on a skillet when they're in the saloon? Can you show me they ate on a skillet inside the saloon?

No, that's not what Jiro meant; he was talking about cast iron skillets to cook the food with. Not sure what plates they had/used in bars and saloons or even the restaurants of the day.....but out on the range, cast iron cooking is still popular even to this day.....takes skill and knowledge to do it well, too....

Yes, I did the same thing years ago on a 4 night/5day wagon train trip.....it was all dutch oven cooking......they made everything that way, even biscuits and cakes.....how they do the cakes and biscuits, for example, was to place the pots on embers and put a heavy lid on the pot and put red-hot coals on top of the lid so to create convection within much the same as an oven......takes skill...

Yeah Deaf Smith died in 1837 that was way before the way these cowboys behaved as outlaws. The reason why they got lawless has a lot to do with the civil war. When the south lost former confederate soldiers turned into outlaws. They will kill you for no reason or kill you for money. Most of those outlaws served in the confederate army.
