8 oz v-8 juice
2 oz vodka
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 oz beer (yup)
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/4 lime
1 rib celery
1 splash of hot sauce
Directions
Mix V-8, vodka, Worcestershire, pepper and hot sauce
in jar or pitcher. (This amount makes 1 large drink).
Pour over ice, add beer and squeeze lime in. Stir
lightly. Garnish with celery.
The beer adds extra kick; it really works! For a
"semi-virgin Mary" you can eliminate the vodka. Walt MM

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into the distant past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the baking 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 exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the upper classes tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
