Shortbread that is less sweet than modern versions and dissolves in your mouth and forms a kind of gluey paste. Definitely have a drink on hand

A fruitcake with candied peel and lots of dried currants that is an odd combination of dry and moist and has two kinds of icing

Smooth, creamy, sweet ice cream with an interesting savory note. Not cheesy or salty, only delicious. A Tasting History favorite!

A simple, refreshing cocktail that was part of an English sailor’s daily ration in the Caribbean

Very different from modern store-bought eggnog! It’s sweet, creamy (but not thick), foamy, and very boozy. Really, really good
