I am not sure if you knew about it, but apparently, there was (and probably is) a room called stillroom in European castles and estates, attached to the kitchen and was primarily used for preparing drinks (alcohol, coffee, tea etc) and to store food and stuff. Do you remember Daisy from Downton Abbey ? She is a stillroom maid, according to the article here. I heard about this very recently. Wonder why it is called stillroom ? because they use it as a distillery too ?

I would imagine that is was because it functioned as di’still’ery as you pointed out, I looked it up because I thought it was interesting. I couldn’t exactly find anything about why it was called that, but I did learn that it was used later in life as a refrigerator or a cupboard would be used.

Pretty or at least what I had gather from the quick reading that I did off it. It became a place to make jams and jellies and a place to store stuff such as cakes and other baked goods.

Wikipedia has an article on the still room (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_room) that says it was where extracts for cooking and medicinal purposes were made. Kind of interesting. Now I guess it’s like a butler’s pantry or something.
