Redbeard Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 What do you folks think Grog would taste like, and what it is. Why do they call it grog in the games? I mean grog is tea with a litte rum, ain't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 It's rum diluted with water. Oh! More from dictionary.com: After Old Grog, nickname of Edward Vernon (1684-1757), British admiral who ordered that diluted rum be served to his sailors, from grogram(from his habit of wearing a grogram cloak).

SamNMax Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Grog was a real achohal from the ol' pirate days. I imagine grog to taste like fire and acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Wow, that sounds like it would taste great btw, all those drinks you get at the bloody lip... Are those all kinds of different grogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 If you want to know how Grog tastes, all you need is to take the list of ingredients from The Secret of Monkey Island and imagine what they'd taste like all mixed together.

Punky Pirate Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Or better yet... why not get all those ingredients and actually make one of your own Couldn't hurt, could it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punky Pirate Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Nope, that was the instructions on how to get to Monkey Island. We're talking about the ingredients for grog. The three important looking pirates tell you them in MI1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Why are the drinking "Grog" instead of Rum in the games, I mean everybody knows how deadful a strong Rum can be. So, why do the call it Grog? Was it just for that Coke joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 because Rum is not the same as Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in their right mind would try minding would try making gorg from the ingredients you get in MI1! You would be lucky merely to be alive if you drank that! Well, that is what I believe anyway.

Kryllith Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 True true, but they do say that grog MAY contain any of the following ingredients. So just mix the ones that aren't deadly. Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be lucky merely to be alive if you drank that! Well, that is what I believe anyway. This is true, kinda obvious by the fact that it has large quantities of sulphuric acid and acetone in it! What else was there? Red Dye#2 Kerosene Can't remember anymore, would be highly volatile stuff and would more than likely burn out the inside of your mouth on contact, which is what it did to the grog mugs!! The poor cook. Just shows you what pirates are made of though eh? If they can drink that they can do anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoLuigi... Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I know this may make me look psychotic, but I DID IT!!!!! I actually went into MI1, and figured out what the ingredients are that are put in grog! Of course, I had to go through about five times to get all the ingredients, then go through three times to get them in order, and then maybe two more times just checking myself, but here they are: IN ORDER... 1) Kerosene 2) Propylene Glycol 3) Artificial Sweeteners 4) Sulphuric Acid 5) Rum 6) Acetone 7) Red Dye No. 2 8) Scumm 9) Axle Grease 10) Battery Acid 11) and/or pepperoni No more, no less. That's what grog has in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what grog has in it. Well I can toss out the obviously dangerous ones.. sulphuric acid, axle grease, battery acid, and scumm (since it as two m's, and must be refering to the game engine ). If we use kerosene to heat it, we might actually use it in the preparation of it, so it could be tossed in as an ingredient in that sense. Trace quantities of acetone can actually be benificial to the liver, but given how much grog pirates drink, it probably would be best to leave it out (course the same could be said of any alcohol). So what we basically have left is thick (propylene glycol is sometimes used as a thickening agent since it absorbs water), sweetened, reddish rum garnished with pepperoni. Yum.

Punky Pirate Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 When you put it like that it actually sounds kinda nice, I might stop drinking hot chocolate at nights and try and make some grog. Of course, my life expectancy wouldn't be too high, but to hell with it! GROG!! GROG!! GROG!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
