A massive breakfast plate. Somehow I picture Rory as a girl who eats an entire truck for a meal. I dunno, it just seems right.

I sympathized with him regarding this Aunt Primrose, saying she sounded difficult to please but clearly loves him.

"Ah...I understand the importance of Aunt Primrose's visit." If he can only gain control of his finances upon marriage, perhaps it would be prudent to set him up with a fine lady. Also I looked it up and the Electric Current Fizz is a real drink from the time period. The basic drink is a Silver Fizz (gin, soda water, lemon juice, and egg white), but you serve up the egg yolk in the half shell with pepper, salt, and vinegar (and in Reginald's case, habanero pepper). You're supposed to shoot the egg yolk and then sip the drink after, but it sounds like Reginald just mixed everything together in one glass. I would suggest making one myself when I get home to sample, but the only gin I have is a very nice one finished in bourbon barrels so it won't taste exactly right.

Reginald's Electric Current Fizz This is the stupidest goddamn idea. If you would like to try it yourself: * 1.5 ounces of gin (I chose Bombay as a classic London style to be as close to the real Reginald recipe as possible) * 1 ounce of lemon juice * 1/2 tbsp of sugar * 1 raw egg * 1 dash of salt * 1 dash of black pepper * 1 dash of vinegar (I used red wine vinegar as I had nothing else on hand) * A few drops of habanero hot sauce * Soda water to fill the glass to the top Ordinarily only the gin, lemon juice, egg white, and sugar are actually mixed. This creates a pretty plain and unmemorable variant on the gin fizz. The Electric Current Fizz adds the egg yolk, pepper, salt, and vinegar in the half shell to take as a shooter before you sip the drink. As there's no mention of this in the game, it seems that Reginald decided to mix it up in one glass. This is the crucial mistake. Reginald also puts his own spin on it by adding habanero puree. Along with the added complexity of pureeing chili peppers, I was concerned that the thickness combined with the egg would create something undrinkable (in the literal sense, as it would no longer be a liquid at that point), so I substituted for habanero hot sauce. You're also supposed to shake with ice, but I have no ice maker and it would have taken too long to wait for ice cubes to freeze.  Here's how it looks minus the egg and soda water. The pepper floating on top makes for an unsettling garnish. Also that is a lot of lemon juice in proportion to gin.  My chosen hot sauce, which is somewhat comparable to Tabasco in flavor.  ker-plunk  With the soda water added, you see why the fizz really gets its name: a little egg white creates a big frothy head. At this point I used a cocktail shaker to mix it up. It didn't seem to like it very much, as the lid kept trying to pop off and spray the fizzy drink back out. Little did I know that my cocktail shaker could taste.  This tastes exactly like vomit, and I mean exactly. The bizarre combination of flavors is bad enough, but the vinegar contributes an acidity that brings to mind the taste in your mouth right after you're done expelling a pint of bile from it. It appears to work as a hangover cure by causing Rory to puke up everything he drank the previous night. After the first sip, I dumped the rest of the glass in the backyard and brushed my teeth to try and return to some semblance of normalcy. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 28, 2017 |

Honestly, I feel like interactions like this only enlighten a thread. I care quite a lot about my eating and drinking, so I'd be happy to make other cocktails that come our way as long as I have access to the materials.

Pangurban posted:Agreed wholeheartedly on interactions like this! I can think of a couple more cocktails that get listed, depending on our choices. I'm assuming the pomegranate thing would require going further out of your way? I know I don't exactly keep either champagne or pomegranates laying around. Yeah, I actually don't have any wine in my house! I'm predominately beer and spirits. I would also need to acquire a cocktail of fruit juices that would taste pleasant together. I might be able to see if those convenience store single-serve wines include Riesling and champagne...

The pomegranate champagne cocktail is real, but there's a lot of variations on it. Reginald is using a variety of fruit juices and muddled mint, and is mixing champagne and Riesling instead of using a single wine. Looking at the measurements in some real recipes and figuring out what would taste good with pomegranate, here's my suggestion * 2 ounces of champagne * 2 ounces of Riesling * 3 tbsp of pomegranate juice * 1 tbsp of lime juice * 1 tbsp of orange juice * 1 tbsp of pineapple juice * 1 fresh mint leaf Muddle the mint at the bottom of the serving glass (do it the right way with a light touch so you don't shred the leaf). Mix the wines and juices together, pour into the serving glass with ice, and drink two.

"Yes, we were close. Close indeed." Rory is our friend. We shouldn't lie to him. Also, I think I'd prefer to steer clear of mechanics discussions and anything spoiler-related for this first run. I'm enjoying going into it blind.
