(Please excuse the typos, and LAYER your shooter or you may as well
drink from the bottle).
Geez you people in the "Non-shooter" states don't know what you are
missing They are a great way to break the nonotony (n=m) of the old
boring drinks that we ususally have. And I agree with Carlos they are
more popular with the University and Collage crowd, heres another for
those who feel adventurous.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the making 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 wonderful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an eruption in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Chip recipe.
