Comic Trivia

 

snapdragon

Snapdragon (or flapdragon) was a parlour game popular from the 16th to 19th centuries. It was played during the winter, particularly on Christmas Eve. Brandy was heated and placed in a wide shallow bowl; raisins were placed in the brandy which was then set alight. Typically, lights were extinguished or dimmed to increase the eerie effect of the blue flames playing across the liquor. The aim of the game was to pluck the raisins out of the burning brandy and eat them, at the risk of being burnt.

“The wantonness of the thing was to see each other look like a demon, as we burnt ourselves, and snatched out the fruit.” – Tatler magazine (18th Cent.)
