[Sca-cooks] Greetings from the Incipient Shire of Tymberhavene in AnTir

[Johnna Holloway]

I did some work on breakfasts earlier this year for another list:
Here's a description of a breakfast of poached eggs, with bread and 
butter and wine.

Venner, Tobias, 1577-1660.
Via recta ad vitam longam, or A plaine philosophical discourse of the 
nature, faculties, and effects, 1620.

Page 87-88

And if any man desire a light nourishing, and comfortable breakfast, I 
know none better then a couple of potched eggs, seasoned with a litle 
salt, and a few cornes of pepper also, with a drop or two of vinegar, if 
the stomacke be weake, and supped
off warme, eating therewithall a litle bread and butter, and drinking 
after a good draught of pure. Claret wine. This is an excellent 
breakfast, and very comfortable for them that haue weake stomacks. Eggs 
moderately vsed are accommodate for euery age, and constitution, 
especially for the elder sort of people, and such as want bloud; but 
soonest offensiue to the cholerick and sanguine, for whom in hot seasons 
they are not conuenient.
