For those of you who couldn't make it to our discussion of the "Six Glasses" book, here's a picture of my labor-intensive visual tribute that I had on display on my dining table Wednesday night. As you can see, we had a selection of beers, spirits, wine, and Coca Cola. On the plates are
chocolate espresso cookies (coffee) and
Earl Grey shortbread (tea). No priests were violated.
Excellent all around, Seth. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOne follow-up item: it's alarmingly likely that my knowledge of the history of gin in England came from cracked.com. Couldn't find it on the site (though I did find a more or less accurate bit about tea and opium) but I feel like that may be where I got it.
