Right. Vinegar is an acid. Lemon juice is an acid. Why not just shorten the whole process and use battery acid?

Chef Walter Staib hosts the show A Taste of History. Each week he creates dishes which were favorites of important Americans of the 18th Century. Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, their family and their friends. He shows you how to cook them all, though he uses the same ovens our forefathers used. Sometimes he uses the ACTUAL ovens in their own houses. He owns and operates City Tavern of Philadelphia, which in the 1700s was a principal meeting, drinking, and eating place of the American conspirators. Naturally he sticks to 18th century dishes in City Tavern. http://www.atasteofhistory.org/show/
Years ago I loved going to Evans Farm Inn, a restaurant on a small farm in Northern Virginia. The staff were dressed in colonial clothing, and the dishes were from the colonial era as well. One of the most memorable items, for me, was Spoon Bread. THAT I remember! Unfortunately, Evans Farm Inn is gone. -

Raja, I think everything they served at Evans Farm Inn was authentic. One time I was allowed to go downstairs where they had tables and bar drinks. I really miss that place. Especially the Spoon Bread, which they brought around to everyone and ladled it out for you. I don't know what happened to bring it down, but I miss it.

Evans Farm was sold about 2000. Owner Evans decided to retire and sold his family's farm to developers for an *spit* upscale *spit* (I hate that word) development of 125 town houses. The builders razed the restaurant and preserved stone cookhouse and mill. About 30 percent of the 24 acre site was left as open space.
The Leviathan has consumed and ruined northern Virginia, turning whole counties into a sea of ugly and sterile office buildings, fields full of McMansions and miles of national look-alike franchise businesses.
If Trump is thwarted from draining The Swamp, I might find myself rooting for Fat Kim to nuke the place.

LTG Td, thanks for the funeral information. I had lived in Northern Virginia until about that time, then was off to other things in other places. Every once in a while I figured I might come back for a visit, but at one point discovered that one of the main points of my visit was gone.
Kind of like when I lived in Brandywine, Maryland. I'd been in the habit of getting, naturally, the finest ribs I've ever had, from Penny's Rib Shack in nearby Waldorf. Untouched by honky hands. Until the owners divorced. It's been more than 20 years and I'm still looking for something as good. I know now I'll never find one. -

'Interesting. But I'm of the school that believes that one of the components of a marinade should be oil, which helps the meat absorb the flavors.
And, speaking of oil, it seems to me that deep-frying would have been a real luxury back then, unless one were cooking a large batch; it takes a LOT of oil to deep-fry. I think chicken marinated and seasoned thusly would turn out pretty well just skillet-fried, and with far less oil (and less danger). -
