Food And Drink
"I am so antiquated as still to dine at four," writes author Horace Walpole, now 72; most English people now dine at 5 or 6 o'clock.
Baptist minister Elijah Craig distills the first bourbon whiskey in the bluegrass country established as Kentucky County last year by the Virginia state assembly. The territory will become Bourbon County in the state of Kentucky, and although many others are making whiskey out of corn, Craig's corn whiskey (the word bourbon will not be used in print for whiskey until 1846) is so refined that it will become more popular than rum or brandy in America (see tax, 1791; politics [Whiskey Rebellion], 1794).
