Henry VIII had a bowling alley installed in Hampton Court; a partial view of it appears in a manuscript image but no trace of it (the alley) has survived.

A blog so that I can organize my SCA A&S activities. Friday, December 30, 2016. What does seal taste like. No, the animal, not the singer.

I do find it interesting that this is a beverage that most brewers/cooks will take next to no time to properly document. After all, it contains only two or three ingredients, why spend more time with the documentation than necessary? Where is the learning?
