After all, what are friends for.... Right? What would you do??? What would you do if you were one of the drinkers?? Take care and here's to you! Rats

Chilli

I am so cold these last few weeks that I am going to thaw myself out one way or another. I am going to make my own chilli recipe. I found three other recipes that I am going to work with and make my own out of. Now I was just wondering if chilli could be in GAoP? The chilli pepper is from Mexico and was brought to the rest of the world by the Spanish in the mid 15th century. I could believe that cooks on ship would use the pepper to spice up and cover up bad tasting food. What say you all??

This might be apropriate in a different section, but... What kinds of cheese was around at this time? I can assume Cheddar and Swiss, but there are so many different types of cheese out there... However all those other choices weren't around then. What other 'common food' was there? Aboard ships we talk about salt beef and pork, beans, rice, peas, ships biscuits and cheese. Rarely do I hear of chicken, goose, rabbit, goat or lamb. But there was livestock on many a ship to feed the crew...

How to make an Admiral Vernon Grogtini. Here is my recipe for a Grog Martini, folks. I claim authorship of this modern martini drink recipe as of today, although it is a modified resurrected recipe of the original 1740 orders how to mix Grog -- thus the drink bears Admiral Vernon's name. I am drinking my second one now as I type this (I had to be sure I could replicate the recipe, and this time measure the ingredients accurately... getting really woozy... Holy Crap, these are potent). If someone else has created and published this exact same recipe previously(other than a reprint of Admiral Vernon's 1740 orders), please provide the specific print or internet ref…

So what is the big differences in such beers? Rats!

It is a proven, and verifiable fact, that the moment a rum bottle is uncorked, uncapped, unscrewed, disembunged, or otherwise opened, that the alcohol inside begins to evaporate....... this, combined with an entire crew of rummed up scalawags can lead to depleted rum stores, but fantastic stories of what the lightweights did while inebriated...... this is why it is advisable to drink it all as quickly as possible, because either way, it's gonna be gone before you know it......it never lasts

Okay, so it's not historically accurate, but it's so good, I'm sure anybody who tries it will forgive me of that slight...... Mix Equal Parts Coca Cola and Dark Rum (Or adjust to taste.......I usually do more cola than rum, just because I like the sweet side of things), then add cinnamon to taste....... if mixed right, your tastebuds will be fooled......it will taste like apple pie! it's REALLY good.........

'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…

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 …

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…

Who here enjoys a ciger every now and then. I haven't in a looooong while - of course I've never had anything as highend as a Cohiba or anything. Best I've had was a Garcia y Vega that cost me around $5. I just got a Christmas gift pack of Pyrat XO Reserve rum that came with a guillotine cutter and a leather cigar case. Set my mind a-spinnin' and figured I ask y'all.

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…

I always go by the rum section in the store to see what new rum comes onto the store shelves. The other day I spied a 'new' Captain Morgan. It is Captain Morgan 'Tattoo'. Of course I bought it...and of course I tried it right away...mixing up a rummer/coke for my best girlfriend and meself....and I was surprised I liked it very much! It has a hearty taste and it is almost black in the bottle. My favortite rum is Sailor Jerry..it used to be the Captain, but this new one took me by surprise. Also I have tried one called 3 Palms and it also has a hearty taste as if you could taste the wood from the rum casks. Has anyone else tried these..?

After I saw something about a "Plunder My Cherry" drink, I thought I might start this thread. No, not basic stuff like rum 'n' water, 'r rum 'n' coke. Got some fancy things here that our fellow privateers may like t' try? I would personally prefer it if the name of the drink was listed first, then the recipe follows in the body of the message. Although, knowin' pyrates don't follow rules ver' well.....
