I'm laying into stock a variety of recipes that involve cooking with rum...generally, a dark rum. But in your considered opinion, would gold serve as well? What would consitute a good cooking rum. Keep in mind the fact that, being a lowly librarian in Reale Lyfe, I'm looking to combine my cooking rum and drinking rum in one label. Being as I am a very beginning rummer (but since I am employed, I'm not an Idle Rummer), I tend towards Capn Morgan Private Stock (hey, *Bilgemunkey* likes it, so it be good enuff fer me...), but would it serve for cooking? And so ye may know what I'm planning on feeding to meself, here's a link to one recipe... http://www.grouprecipes.com…

I thought I'd throw out some ideas and also look for some recipes... For starters, at Pike River, we had an excellent stew which I have no idea as to the contents. But my missus and sister out- I mean in-law made some very tasty shish-ka-bombers. We also had some very good corn on the cobb and fresh bread. All seemed simple to throw together and the variety was nice. Breakfast was very nice with eggs, ham, potatos and a corn cake??? I suppose some pancakes and bacon would also be an easy fix... However it seems bonless porkchops $4 for 4-6 are cheaper than a side of ham or a couple pounds of bacon... BTW: GAoP or not, it's been years since I had a good potato pancake.…

Going back a few weeks ago, I caught the "Good Eats" episode on Paella. I've always wanted to try it, and the funny thing is, I think I first heard about it on an episode of "Seinfeld" (a show I rarely ever watched). So last weekend, while on a random shopping excursion looking for drapes (well Kate was looking for drapes, I was tagging along ), I was wandering around the kitchen wares aisle of the discount store (you know that one where they sell off the brand name stuff for cheap because they got all the goods from an overstocked factory or a business going under). Anyways, I saw a paella pan on the shelf an looked at it, and I was blown away by the fact that it was o…

Squids ain't my cup of tea, but they get mentioned as food in my stories. Not the big submarine-attacking type, but something more like the Caribbean Reef Squid. I haven't heard much about squid-eating in the Golden Age other than the possible use of squids in a chowder. How were squids used as food back then? How'd they get the squids? What class of people would eat them? Anything else I should know on the subject? If it helps, the ethnic groups involved would be mostly British and French colonials. Thanks!

Lavender Sugar You can easily make your own lavender sugar. Use it in your kitchen or give as gifts in decorative jars 6 cups sugar 6 teaspoons dried lavender buds Grind the lavender buds in a grinder or a mortar. (Coffee grinders work well for this) Mix with sugar. Store in airtight jars. It will be ready to use after 4 weeks. Alternative methods: There are several ways to make lavender sugar. If you have fresh lavender flowers on a stalk, cut the stalk off and place the flower spike in a jar. Cover with sugar. Shake every few days. It will be ready to use after 4 weeks. Another way is to place whole buds in sugar, either fresh or dry, and sift them out before using…

I recently received a 19th century english tankard with a glass bottom. Unfortunately it leaks. I am not sure how to seal the leak. I was thinking silicone but I don't trust the chemicals and it may seep into whatever beverage I drink out of it. Also I do not know how ale/beer would treat the silicone. I was thinking maybe a wax? Any suggestions would be great.

'Tis the song that is uttered in camp by night and day, 'Tis the wail that is mingled with each snore; 'Tis the sighing of the soul for spring chickens far away, 'Oh hard crackers, come again no more!' 'Tis the song of the soldier, weary, hungry and faint, Hard crackers, hard crackers, come again no more; Many days have I chewed you and uttered no complaint, Hard crackers, hard crackers, come again no more!" -from a soldiers' parable called "Hard Times" Let's see those mild variations and personal adaptations of Hard Tack recipes. Everyone who makes it does something a little bit different. A subtle degree in thickness, a dash of salt or a a…

Welcome all, We're still getting set up, but this will be the sub-forum for discussing brewing, mead making, wine making, etc. etc. This will be for all makers of fine beverages (and beginners too) whether you are using modern methods or trying to recreate historical methods. Why the "Empty Keg"? Because the discussions are about what to do to fill the kegs up (barrels, casks etc.) ... Make something to put into the keg. Here's to some good discussions, shared recipes and any other topical conversation that are to be had! :angry:

Found this on a board I moderate on: RECIPES - DEERFIELD MASS 1704 – from various sources Planked & Stuffed Salmon Planking fish involves securing the fish to a board with nails and string and then placing it on the hearth angled toward the fire.

Water..... It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of shit. However, we do not run that risk when drinking rum, whiskey, beer or other liquors because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting. It is my duty to communicate to all of you people who are drinking water, to stop doing so. It has been scientifically proven that it is unhealthy and bad for you. Water = shit Alcohol = health Free yourself of shit, drink alcohol!!!

Quiet here as of late, so do tell...what do you have brewing? I've just finished the first batch of something I am tentatively referring to as a Black Pilsner, it is currently bubbling away quite happily and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. I've bottled a second round of an old world heavy ale. Chief on the grain bill was cherrywood smoked malt.... I'm quite proud of this recipe so far. In the keg is a cream ale. I'll confess I don't like it at all, but everyone else with access to the fridge finds it delightful. Also in the fridge, though in bottles, is a bourbon smoked porter. The one has become my old standby and something I enjoy having around. There's a dr…

Hi, all: I'm wondering what sort of food would typically have been eaten on a pirate ship in the GAoP? I assume salted meats, such as salt pork or corned beef would have been a staple, as well as hard biscuits. But, would the food on pirate ships have included luxuries and delicacies that would not have been availabe to Navy or merchant crews? Would pirates have stolen such luxury foods from the officers and wealthy passengers of the ships they boarded? Would they have spent some of their booty on such luxuries while in port, and brought the delux foodstuffs aboard with them? And would pirates have been more likely to fish while at sea than other sailors, as they …
