Thank you Huette. Maybe we should put this on the historical food blog since you did all this work.

Sure. I just edited this adding the source for the buttered beer recipe.

I've always wanted to start researching "hot drinks in 'period,' with some explanation to time and place" as a background to what I do at Coffee Bar of Splendoor. Thank you for sharing these recipes... I never would have thought of "eggs, cream, and booze" as a tasty hot drink. But your explanation of Posset has helped me.

I can tell this will be years in the making. *hugs*

Here are some books to read about coffee ( ... )

Again... more stuff for you to post in the food blog, young lady. :3

How hard are these books to buy? If you find them, I'll pay you for them since you are so good at getting them cheap (no you DON'T buy them and NOT get reimbursed... or just send me links to them please).

I know where to find a sip in time... at least I'm pretty sure.

I also need you (if possible please) to help me find a pottery's wheel for $50-$75. You have the magic hands, you know. :) I want a student/small wheel for the studio. It has to be small. Tank u.

I don't think that adding this to the blog would be good. All I did was make a list of books, which is easy-peasy. The timeline is someone else's work. I cannot take credit for that.

Those sound wonderful! I can't wait to try them, thanks for posting these recipes!

Possett pots.. hroar October 18 2009, 04:47:44 UTC

And we just happen to have nearly 2 dozen posset pots on hand. 8-) Lucky us! 8-)

Re: Possett pots.. doll_paparazzi October 18 2009, 23:56:26 UTC

Maybe you guys should print out the recipe and attach it with the pots? Just a suggestion. :)

I remember the Irma Starr video and that guy explaining the posset pot and thinking, "well that sounds vile." To each their own, huh?

Re: Possett pots.. hroar October 19 2009, 03:14:51 UTC

In fact, we DO have recipies to go with the pots. 8-)
Well, if that person was going by what was said in most pottery books, itDOES sound vile. But those descriptions are incompleete and inaccurate. To see an ACTUL recipe, it sounds lovley.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see the pots at GWW. :(
