T STandns For MalT
Since last T-day some assumed Mum is alcohol I´d like to present you the Brunswick Mum-Book.
Again a mixture of history and recipes.
Sadly again in German only.
In the beginning it was a very strong beer, so strong it lasted long and went global, India, Central America, the Caribbean...
It helped to prevent scurvy on the long journeys on the ships.
1800-something it came without alcohol, just a malt-drink to help women who just were weak, had just given birth, people who needed strength to fight deseases, even tooth ache!
These days you can put it in beer to give it a sweeter Mum-taste, or use it for cooking, too.
Here:
With stuffed cabbage or here:
Goulash
Sweet stuff, too. Without Mum, though, but a weeeee bit sweet:
Taking part in Elizabeth and Bleubeard´s "T Stands For Tuesday".
Art-wise I go back in time again:
Another 60-90-seconds sketch (This is what it´s all about):
Henry today welcomes a Sibling from the Philippines, irony, our lille Corinna is not allowed to visit her owner, Stevenson, code red from there...
Aren´t we one world?
And a shiny one, too!
Temps, go UP!
OK, I lied. This summer-sign was up since last summer. It makes me smile every day.
I´ll get some melon later, too!

It would be nice if we were one world, but I'm afraid that might take another few hundred years! You signed your TSFT entry to 2nd on the 2nd, if you want to alter it! Happy T day, Mum day or whatever, Valerie
Thank you, yes, I´ll change that, it was confusing, too!
It was very complicated, that#s true, 2 posts, same title!
Blinde Kuh, ich! ;-) LOL.
OK, das ist jetzt ein weißer Schimmel in einem runden Kreis - Ach, dann wars doch gut für einen Lacher!
This is a beautiful book ... like I said before!
Is only in German, right? Where do you buy it?
Today is not going well ... I can hardly sit on the chair!
A little BIG hug for my Hathi (Colonel Hathi)🐘
xoxo
Oh, Ella, let me know if you want the training my doc gave me, OK?
Yes, German only, I might get a copy at the tourist shop, let me know, too!
To a dance and a healthy back soon, a little BIG hug to you, my dear, get well soon!
That book looks like a fun read. I like the sketch. Wonderful lion. Happy T-Day!
Those tonics were popular in the past -- they probably really did contain vitamins that hadn't been identified yet. It's interesting that this one is still available and well-known. I think here many of them were taken off the market because they also contained dangerous stuff. Also many WERE alcoholic or contained addictive drugs, which in fact made people feel "better."
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Anne, thank you :-) A happy T-day!

Mae, this is Germany. "Pure" ;-)
You´re not even allowed to call a beer with honey a beer!
Strict rules over here...
Sorry I confused you, dear Iris. I didn't mean to. I see Jan had the same problem, but for some reason she couldn't link. Now I know why Valerie was # 2. I guess I should leave a message to those who have yet to post.
I really enjoyed seeing that mum book. There was a lot of information, too. I had NO idea there was so much history there.
Loved your drink of choice today. Lemon, ginger, and basil sounds really different and probably quite refreshing, too. Thanks for sharing this MUM book and your drink, as well as your sketches and lions with us for T this Tuesday.
Good morning Iris, I really enjoyed learned about your mum book. what is the ingredient in this beer or if it's non beer.
I was confused this morning too-same post twice-she keeps us on our toes haha.
Love your summer sign and your lion Happy T Kathy
...thanks for the history lesson.
Elizabeth, no worries :-)
Actually I like the format with the pic even better!
Yes, Brunswickk Mum is big here :-) And the drink was yummy!!!
A happy T-day to you, dearest host!

Kathy it´s malt, they have a special procedure to make it.
If we´re lucky we can visit the Mum Mile in November !
Most Excellent Photos All Around - Way Cool
Cheers
Padre, you can also pour it over ice cream :-)
I could eat some watermelon right now. Yum.
I'd never heard of mum, so this has all been a learning experience for me :) Thanks! Happy T Tuesday
The mum book was so interesting, thanks for showing the content 😀. Fabulous sketches and lion - roar ...lol! The summer melon is fun too, I can see why it always makes you smile 😊. Happy T Day wishes! Stay safe and well! Hugs, Jo x
gigi, just come over, it´s cool in the fridge :-)
____
Divers and Sundry you´re welcome, it´s really but malt :-)
Jo, I think I should´ve made bigger screenshots, but it´s all in German anyways!
The credis for the Lion go to Stevenson :-)
iris!! You made me smile so big!!! Oh if only you can see how I clapped when I saw Henry's 'Pinoy' sibling (We Filipinos call our selves Pinoy) and that Watermelon is soooooo beautiful!!! there's something about Watermelon that even if they are not the real thing, it can still give you a cooling sensation by the sight of it! Thanks also for sharing about Mum and it's something new to me.
Oh you made me so happy with this post dear Iris, thank you so much! Having a tough day at work now but this made me smile and happy so much!
Stevenson
Pinoy smiles big upon your words, Stevenson :-)
Now I wish I could re-open lille Corinna, but we already have code orange and she´s like ready to go!! (plus I saw Mum in glasses only, not good for a bumpy ride).
You make me happy being able to make you happy :-)
Mum sounds interesting, I never heard of it. Weather here is reversing from the good to the sad rain and cooler, 12C. Have a nice evening, Iris.
so very interesting about Mum! Love your summer display. Happy T day!
I enjoyed the interesting history of Mum, Iris. Love that book and your drawings as always. Cute summer display. It made me smile too.
Happy T-Day! Eileen xx
A little mum sounds mighty fine to me! So, to this post, I say "Cheers!"
Wow a very interesting and informative post. I love your art too.
Have a great week.
A really interesting post to read and the art you shared looks super.
Happy T day wishes.
Yvonne
Love your sketches and the cute Henry and his companion from Philippines
SO many interesting recipes. It sounds like a lot of history is in those pages. I have never had goulash but I'll have to try it sometime.
Your lemon and ginger drink sounds delicious!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I lvoe trying new beers (as I am a beer lady over wine). And how cool to have a book to go along with it with recipes. And I love your lion today. How fun from the Phillipines. I hope it was a fantastic T day Iris. I am very late getting around to everyones blogs. Hugs-Erika
Mum sounds a bit like a soft drink we have in New England. It’s called Moxie and in the early 20th c. It was marketed as a health tonic. Moxie is not sweet. Happy T Day
Stuff cabbage and things like that I call comfort food. Plus very yummy
Bill, 17C already, we´ll have a BBQ tonight :-) But cold is on the way... A nice day to you.

Linda, thank you :_)
____
Eileen, you´re welcome, I love making people smile, you made me, too Iris xx
____
Jeanie, cheers, then! :-)
____
DVArtist thank you :-)
____
Yvonne yes, Mum is yummy!
____
magiceye, the Sibling of Henry says thank you!
____
Kate, what`You never have had goulash?! Wow, I think you´re the only person I know who never had, LOL!
____
Erika, dito, wine is for cooking here! Yes, a cute lion, I agree!
____
CJ, that is interesting! Maybe it´s really alike... a bit.
____
Dora: I agree!!
Your Mum beer sounds like it can be used for anything! The watermelon picture is very cute, and I love Stevenson's lion :)
Yes, Mum is quite an alrounder, just the name is a tad irritating, in German it´s "Mumme"! Yes, the Lion sure is happy to visit, if you find one, also... Here we are!
How interesting to read about Mumme. I had never even heard of it until you started mentioning it. The book looks really interesting. Yes, malt extract seems to be good for mothers. I remember in the UK they gave new mothers Guinness (not now).
Your Filipino lion is quite a handsome boy, and your water melon raises my spirits. I remember it from last summer.
Sorry for the late comment,
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
Mum poured over ice cream sounds good Iris.. and a little strange at the time 😀 Love seeing your sketches, you should definitely keep up the art, there's no reason not to oui?
Your food and drink certainly look delicious! Love you sketches! The giant girl came to Liverpool but we didn't travel the 30 or so miles to see her! Apologies for the late visit, our internet, which hasn't been so good lately suddenly went right down yesterday and was only restored mid morning today(a local issue)Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
Great mum book Iris !! Your drawing is beautiful, and love the lion.
Hope you spent a lovely T-day.
I wish you a happy Thursday,
Big hugs,
Caty
Goulash would go over pretty well right now.
