Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

This was recommended to be drunk by the bell-ringers before a long peal. Probably as a boost to strength and energy as well as to wet the whistle.
Separate 8 eggs into two large bowls. Beat the whites until very stiff. Strain the juice from 2 or 3 oranges and beat into the yolks adding sugar to taste. Into this bowl put sweet spices of your choice, for example cinnamon, nutmeg and perhaps a pinch of ginger and beat together very well. Now slowly heat 2 pints of strong beer and when it is hot pour it slowly and from a good height onto the yolks. This should come to a good froth and should now have the whites stirred in before it is drunk, still hot.

Yum! Sounds wonderful!
Mel, the raw eggs wouldn't be runny or slimy according to my mental picture and saliva glands upon reading.
Are you planning a culinary experimental table during the upcoming exhibition. This would gather you a pound or two, I reckon, as a fund-raiser!

I probably won't be there Sue. I would have been in France originally but plans have changed and I will be here in the UK. We have a lot on at the moment with work and I cannot commit myself to anything as plans keep change daily.

As for the egg...I think I will give this one a miss...there are a couple of recipes that I might try though...yet to be added.
