I LOVE to cook (but can't clean up all that well worth a spit). Bought some salt Pork the other day (was and still is available at the HyVee supermarket here) and started experimenting with it on a few recipes I have for reenactment cooking. So, I began to wonder (as I often do) about all you out there. Your cooking and recipes, etc. How's about some swapping of recipes or some ideas? What have you tried and is good in a dutch oven or on a spit... or in a copper boiler... maybe over a brazier... I'll type up some recipes here when I get some more time. But in the meantime... let's hear yours! Who knows, may put this into a REAL cookbook to pass around to the Pub…

Ok so here I'm going to show how I'm making a simple Brandy Punch. Fairly common for our time period in England. It's called Major Bird's Brandy Punch Ingredients for are: 2-----------------Lemons 1/2 cup---------- Raw Sugar I'm using Florida Crystals 1/2 Quart (16oz) - Brandy 1 Quart ---------- Water It seems that Rum would have been more common in the colonies. Limes were also used but considered somewhat inferior but being plentiful in the Carribean, were also used there and in the colonies. The receipe is from "Punch" by David Wondrich and is our kind of writer. He's pulled from as many period resources as possible. In the back of the book he claims Google Bo…

So maybe we're not all rum drinkers. How about a simple DIY beer review guide for those flavors you favor most. So what beer are you drinking now and what's your opinion of it? We just finished a 6'er of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Goode, but pales in comparison to Anchor Steam's Christmas Ale. I feel, the best of the holiday seasonals so far. A friend gave us a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock for Christmas. Can't wait to break open it tonight....

Found the below quote while researching something else... Didn't think the practice of substituting sugar (or sugar like substances) for barley malt went back that far. Link to original citation Bold added by me.

I have this recipe that is very easy and you might enjoy it. It will work well both at home and at any event you may be at where you will have to do outdoor or camp style cooking. Take a large piece of foil and spray it generously with non stick spray. Place in it whatever fish you like and sprinkle it with lemon butter and a little oregano. Then slice some of the lemon in rings and place on top the fish. Wrap the foil tight and place on grill top or fire grate. After about five to ten mins. Flip and cook the other side. Cooking time will depend on the size of the fish. Now, make a pocket with another piece of foil. Make certain it is large enough to hold a lot of vegeta…

Came back from our Oregon performance and must say, I have fallen in love with Rogue Hazelnut Rum. It has a lovely fragrance and flavor of roasted hazelnuts. It's a great straight drinking rum. Couldn't believe a bunch of beer brewers could come up with such a great distilled product. The bottle has Blackbeard on it. Their white rum has Jean Lafitte. Kind of adds to the experience. http://www.rogue.com/spirits/rogue-hazelnut-rum.php Now all I have to do it find it in Florida or have it shipped from New York of all places. -- Hurricane

Ok as you all know I am tring to become a self-sufficent sailor. I am making my own boat and I will make my own sail. I doubt that I will make my own line as their is much better out there than I could make. I know that a man can only live so long on saltwater alone. So as I am in drydock now I would like to know about your tastes in Rum. I have tried Captain Morgan's, and Pyrat both straight. Now in one of my magazines I find Pusser's Rum and this past weekend I went to the store and found a sea of rum for sale. I know that this has been talked about before and I will set out for those waters soon, but I would like an updated opinion on rums. So there you go.

So I purchased Hatchet Meg's (of the BlackBeard Crew) rum cake cook book at the Hampton festival earlier this month... After hearing so much about how great her cakes were, and after tasting it first hand (she was selling samples at the festival) I had to have the recipe book.... Up until now, I haven't really had the excuse to make one, but later this week, we are having a pot luck at work for Independence Day, so I thought that would be a good excuse to make one. Well I just dragged the wife to the grocery store (against her will) to buy the ingredients we didn't have on hand (most of them), and then raced home to bake the cake (which Kate has lovingly done 99% of the …

Rum Samples 1 2

As I am new to the wonderful world of rum, I'm searching for a label that suits my tastes. And since I don't wish to blow near $20.00 (or more) on a full size bottle, I am wondering if the company may know of sources wherein I might obtain sample bottles of rum. I already have a couple of Myers Dark, and would like to find some Appleton and Mount Gay. Can anyone help?

A couple of things, first the bad news. it's been over a year since Pusser's as changed the proof of their rum from 47.75% to a measly 42% alcohol, has anyone noticed this? You can't find the good stuff anywhere. I drink so little rum these days, but I have always looked forward to this once-potent spirit, which, I can recall, was so pungent that the fumes alone were intoxicating. It had the characteristic of an industrial-stregnth cleaning solution meant for hospitals and institutions....yes it was THAT potent. You treated it with respect. On an unusual note, I found this bottle of Hurricane Rum for $19 for 750ml. This is one of those peculiar insta…

http://www.ussbatonrouge.com/connie.htm The following tale is from the history of the oldest commissioned warship in the world, the USS Constitution.

Salmagundi is an old recipe that came to be known as a pirate meal. "Cut cold roast chicken or other meats into slices. Mix with minced tarragon and an onion. Mix all together with capers, olives, samphire, broombuds, mushrooms, oysters, lemon, orange, raisins, almonds, blue figs, Virginia potatoes, peas and red and white currants. Garnish with sliced oranges and lemons. Cover with oil and vinegar, beaten together." (from The Good Huswives Treasure, Robert May, 1588-1660) "A mixture of minced veal, chicken or turkey, anchovies or pickled herring, and onions, all chopped together and served with lemon juice and oil." Salmagundi is also purportedly a meal served on pirat…

By JENNIFER PRICE, AP LONDON (Feb. 27) - A Scottish distillery said Monday it was reviving a centuries-old recipe for whisky so strong that one 17th-century writer feared more than two spoonfuls could be lethal. The process, carried out under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Jim McEwan, produces the most alcoholic single malt ever made. The whisky has an alcohol content of 92 percent, or 184 proof, and will retail for around $695. Risk-taking whisky connoisseurs will have to wait, however - the spirit will not be ready for at least 10 years. The Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, off Scotland's west coast, is producing the quadruple-distilled 184-proof…
