Who really knows what it was. It didn't become a "style" that modern people recognise until Carlsberg did their thing which came much later.<br /><br /><br />The guy using modern terms to claim that one of the 3 threads was lager is like somebody claiming "Jesus changed most of the water into a frisky Australian Chardonnay but later on in the evening they voted for a nice Burgundy, north slopes of course"<br />Mike in NSWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-91775961586451264442021-03-09T14:01:57.508-08:002021-03-09T14:01:57.508-08:00This is a problem in the field of food and drink h...This is a problem in the field of food and drink history in general. You will get bonkers claims about how some dish evolved from this or that country, only to find out that it actually existed for centuries in some other place first. People will cite three secondary sources for a claim, but when you look at them, you realize they all refer to the same dubious source. <br /><br />I dug into one involving the Mexican soup pozole -- basically hominy corn and some kind of meat plus vegetables -- and multiple claims that it came from cannibalistic feasts. Which on its surface is nuts, and when you find reports of serious archaelogical evidence, you see that there is simply no way the claim can be true.<br /><br />People want to believe stupid stories, the more elaborate the better. Every once in a blue moon one turns out to be semi-true, but almost always it's silly, and sometimes, like in the story of pozole, it can be flat out bigoted.Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-77609563749699370442021-03-09T13:51:40.107-08:002021-03-09T13:51:40.107-08:00Thanks for the good laugh, Ron.
