1 smoked sausage, enough to fill crock pot
Directions
Cut each pound of smoked sausage into 4 pieces. Pour the beer in the
bottom of the crock pot and pile in the sausage. Cook on HIGH for 2
hours, then switch to LOW until ready to serve.
Those who like a strong beer taste will want the pieces that actually
bathed in the beer. The pieces toward the top of the crock pot will
have a more delicate beery tang. During the 2 hours of cooking, the
alcohol in the beer will evaporate completely, so the whole family
can enjoy these. :) Posted on Genie 8/1/91

The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
