SC - Spinach Tarte (NOT metric measurements)

[THLRenata@aol.com]

Greetings!  Syllabub is a drink made of cream, wine, and sugar.  Some 
spices, such as nutmeg, can be added.  May, Digby and Fettiplace have 
recipes.  PPC (Petits Propos Culinaires) had articles about syllabub in 
two issues (52 and 53), debating the methods of making it, etc.  
According to the first article, Elizabeth David "implies that she knew 
of no syllabubs earlier than the 17th century."  That would place it, 
for the purists, OOP.  The discussion about methods of making it came 
from having read a recipe where one is supposed to milk the cow 
directly into the wine.  The author tried it and found that the 
syllabub curdled and smelled very bad.  The second article, by another 
person, went into more methods of making syllabubs, etc.  Terribly 
interesting if one wanted to make syllabub but probably not worth a 
long post here...  However, it's just one more reason to subscribe to 
PPC if one can afford it!  :-)
