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
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and dill. During the following few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
