I am indeed very lucky to visit the Huang family on the 27th-28th weekend as it is the annual Feast of the Hunters' Moon at the Fort Ouiatenon Historic Park .
The Feast of the Hunters' Moon is a re-creation of the annual fall gathering of the French and Native Americans which took place Fort Ouiatenon, a fur-trading outpost in the mid - 1700s. It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette, Indiana. Thousands of participants re-enact this event creating a feast for your senses. Smell the wood smoke, hear the report of the rifles, savor authentic food and more.
The food was the highlight of the Feast, we had rabbit stew, very very sweet BBQ corn, freshly baked apple dumplings, fresh lemonade, herbal pork chops, all these were cooked the traditional methods. The participants started the fire with wood, use cast iron pots, big outdoor BBQ pits to renact the old days. Together with their dressings, you really feel like you are back in time to the mid 1700s.
