Googlewhacked

Well I did it. I finally found two words that give only one result in google.

“braume succulent”

Not that I have been looking and spending all my time trying to find a pair. I don’t do well with games like this and the boredom level is reached quickly so I don’t spend my wasted time that way. I lucked out on this one by trying to look something up. “Braume Brose”
This got me one result in Yahoo but when I tried it out in google, I got two results, the other being a german site that had nothing to do with Braume Brose, it just included those words. Taking another word from the one site, I got my googlewhack.

Why Braume Brose?
In 1980, my mother, my brother and I had dinner in Ireland at a Mediaeval (their spelling) Castle. They served a soup that I loved. Which is odd since I didn’t like soup. This one was creamy and I can only remember thin soups. And it was eaten with bread (not having silverware helps to figure this out), I had only had crackers. Since then, I have discovered a liking for cream soups. I would love to know what this special Mediaeval soup was. My mom recently sent me a bunch of old pictures (her weddings, polaroids of me as a baby, etc). Included with all these old goodies was a brochure for the Mediaeval feast we attended. Happy bouncy dance. It included the menu. The first remove (which I am guessing is the first course because there were four removes and gee, what else could it be) was Braume Brose. Followed by Allowes, Chekyns in Browet Salat Salamagundy and the last remove was Rastons-Syllabubs. Manchet Bread, Metheghelen and Hippogras are also listed. Don’t have a clue about any of it other than to guess chicken was involved. So, in looking to find out what Braume Brose is, I managed a googlewack. Unfortunately, I still don’t know the soup. Turns out to be a creamy vegetable soup. Doesn’t tell me a lot. Fortunately, sounds like the place (Bunratty Castle) is still in business and maybe I can track it down that way.

Anyone going to Ireland in the near future?

  1. absolutely right!

    first remove == first course

    And I think I have a friend who has a redacted recipe from the “Thousand Eggs or More” cookbooks for that soup. I’ll poke her and see.

  2. I can’t help with most of it, but a “Metheghelen” sounds a lot like a “metheglin”, which is a mead with herbs in it. Were you served something alcoholic?

  3. more help

    Manchet Bread is flat bread loaves, baked hard, which they used instead of plates. eat the food, sop up the juices with the manchet, eat the manchet.

    I know syllabubs are (modernly) a fruit and cream thing.
