Doom Goon posted:Aricle about Dickens's punch and other drinks, including a reference to a The Charles Dickens Cookbook. Ah yes, Dickens loves to describe eating/drinking: "in The Pickwick Papers (1835-6) there are 35 breakfasts, 32 dinners, 10 luncheons, and 249 separate references to drink (albeit, not all of it alcoholic)" I've been on a quest to make different Victorian/Dickensian historical drinks for the last few Christmas holidays. I have not been disappointed! Hot rum punch is definitely a fine way to kick back. I don't know if I made it wrong, but "egg flip" turned out sort of nasty. Wassail is a similarly acquired taste... The Redwood series by Brian Jacques has a lot of long, detailed, delicious sounding descriptions of feasts and food items. Thesaurus fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Aug 17, 2012 |
