..at last, a Michelin-starred recipe for Butterbeer!

[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

Thanks for the info. The recipe looks delicious. I clicked through to its parent, the website for the whole Tudor Feast, with links to Medieval Feast and Victorian Feast, and it looks like it would be fascinating if I ever had time to read it.

However, there is a co-incidence that amuses me. This morning, Yahoo!Groups persistently told me that each of my Y!groups was temporarily unavailable, so I surfed Scientific American's website for a while (that place is a addictive, even skipping the fee- required content!) and just before I left it for here, I saw a short notice that The Fat Duck was re-opening after being closed for IIRC two weeks by their Health Department as it searched in vain for the source of some food poisoning (my terminology, so much more genteel than their naming of symptoms).

He's creating a series of extraordinary feasts on telly at the moment, which last night included a genuine Tudor recipe for butterbeer. It looked as though it went down really well for those who tried it!
