[Sca-cooks] Ghee for SCA cooking

[Tom Vincent]

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I thought I'd suggest that if folks want to use clarified butter to get a higher heat level without the smoke of melted butter, your local South Asian (aka Indian) grocer has ghee for about $10 a quart, which is a great price.
   
  They also have a vegetarian ghee, but I haven't had any experience with it.
  
Clarified butter (ghee) is butter without the solids, so you get the rich butter flavor.  
   
  More authentic period-wise for Northern European cooking than olive oil.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

“We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.” 

“Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.”
