SC - OOP question: Snapdragon?

[Micaylah]

>> The second item was a festive dish referred to as a "snapdragon."  The
most information I could glean from the book was that it had *something* to
do with raisins soaked in (presumably brandy) and lit afire.  They never
outlined the procedure for the dish itself.

Sounds like the drink Cucarachtcha (HUGE spelling mistake - my Spanish is a
little rusty) to me.  I've actually lived to tell about this one. Scary
practise.
