[Sca-cooks] Rum festion??

[Terry Decker]

Rum fustian.  There are versions made with and without rum, so there is some 
disagreement as to which is the original.  I tend to think with since rum 
was a big import in the 18th Century.

I may have a recipe in one of my 18th or 19th Century cookbooks, but I'm not 
close to them at the second.
