Sweet Kiss
First recorded in the village of Teller Town during an intense period of fogs during one winter on Egg Island and attributed to the minstrel Dewi. It consists of a mixture of egg yolks, honey and cream well blended and vigorously whisked or shaken into a rich, fairly thick beverage.
In may ways it resembles an uncooked custard, the ingredients are nearly the same. It stimulates the appetite, invigorates the spirit, and tastes wonderful. While enjoyed to some degree in all seasons, it is especially valuable during the fogs. Tradition has it that those suffering from Island Fever were able to enjoy this, when all other desires for food or drink were gone. In addition to being something they would eat, it also showed health benefits, lifting the spirits of the afflicted and providing both energy and alertness.
All sorts of variations have appeared since that first simple mixture. Some add spices if they have them, like nutmeg and cinnamon. Some use the expensive and rare sugar crystals instead of honey, and some add one of an assortment of alcoholic beverages, such as rum, or brandy.
While variations abound, one almost universal truth exists - it is beloved of nearly all who drink it.
