Stumbled upon this recipe a while ago, but it only was from a fragment of an article that was never fully published.

The source was a book about winemaking, no public scans were available.

After contacting the Karlsuhe State Library about the specific pages stated to have mead recipes. They told me they are actively working on digitizing the book and will prioritize those. ETA 1-2 weeks.

They kept word and yesterday (after 13 days) i received the high quality scans.

So i transcribed the scans into text, worked through some illegible words. Translated with my local and some online dictionaries. Some hours of research about unclear words and i was done.

A recipe that is massive in scale. Depending on local differences this was up to a one thousand liters (~260 gallons) batch of cherry mead.

1 part honey to 2 parts tart cherry juice. After fermentation in barrel a sachet with a spice mix was added through the bung hole and weighted down for weeks to infuse.

A batch of mead like this was ingredients wise an enterprise of it's own for the time. The honey used was worth a small fortune. The expensive imported ingredients not to mention.

Later i found out (after i had the transcript and already translated the hard way) the recipe was published in a copyrighted print somewhere. But this is the first published version having the original source scan.

Recipe is in German, just use the included google translate button, it should handle everything (i've optimized for it).

Basically this; if two people with audiovisual synesthesia are both listening to a Bruce Springsteen album, would their visual experiences be similar? Meaning one synesthete could potentially take another on a audiovisual journey and be more or less sure they are both experiencing similar things.

Or is each case of synesthesia simply the result of differences in how our brains are wired and therefore their experiences unique to each individual synesthete?

Reposted with different wording.

Basically this; if two people with audiovisual synesthesia are both listening to a Bruce Springsteen album, would their ‘hallucinations’ be similar? Meaning one synesthete could potentially take another on a audiovisual journey and be more or less sure they are both experiencing similar things.

Or is each case of synesthesia simply a victim of “crossed wires” and therefore their experiences unique to each individual synesthete?

Read today that Austria is turning Hitlers birth home into a police station to curb extremists pilgrimages to the site. In the same vein - What should Trump’s Mar-a-Lago be turned into, when he kicks the bucket?

I går havde min kone desværre en lidt grænseoverskridende oplevelse i Aarhus, så betragt det her som en påmindelse til dem som vil lytte.

Hun er højgravid og valgte i går at tage en tur til Aarhus. Mens hun står og afslutter hendes parkering i Dokk1 hører hun en ældre kvinde råbe op “Ej hvor en stor mave!” Min kone kigger op og ser en ældre kvinde komme farende fra glasdørene op til Dokk1 med hænderne udstrakt mod hende mens hun nærmest råber “Ej hvor er den flot! Hvornår er du sat til!?” Min kone når kun lige at få hånden op foran sig og udbryde “Det må du ikke!” Før kvinden når hende. Kvinden stopper op et par meter fra hende helt chokeret og blinker som et dådyr mens hun mumler noget i retning af “Har jeg gjort noget forkert…?” På det her tidspunkt er min kone allerede ved at skynde sig over til båsen hvor hendes bil er på vej op og kører derfra uden at se sig tilbage.

Det er meget tydeligt at kvinden ikke vidste bedre, så vi bebrejder hende ikke hendes handling, men det var alligevel grænseoverskridende. Vi er så vandt til at man ikke må kommentere på en gravid kvindes mave. Kan vi så ikke lige gå sammen om at påminde, de som har behov for at høre det, om at man ikke skal røre ved en gravid kvindes mave heller? Det er hårdt nok allerede at være gravid i den her varme.

Tak, for din opmærksomhed.
