You're betraying your true origins there, bigman...
Surely you know none of us natives really eat the stuff, it's just a ploy to scare away sassenachs...

In short, 'Gentse Waterzooi' is the state right before 'Haggis', the state where it goes down the stomach.

You're forgetting about whiskey

It's not boecht

IIRC whiskey is used to refer to single malt and whisky are the blend ones...

I know what I'll have

Whiskey is a different spelling of whisky, associated to products from Ireland or USA.
The change in spelling was to differ Irish / American whiskey from Scotch whisky.



One learns everyday eh

(I'm very strict in the use of whisky/whiskey, that's all...)

OH, BTW, American whiskey sucks big time, too...

IZ.

Ah, sorry, I seem to have misread that somewhere then

And I've always been quite strict in that myself too, lots of errors to correct then

Is there a big difference between Bourbon and US Whiskey, or is that just a difference in name

C'mon people, it's all the same when yer bladdered, n'est ce pas?

Under federal regulations, bourbon is a whiskey distilled at not exceeding 160 proof from a fermented mash of not less that 51% corn. The balance of the mash may be any other grain but is generally rye and barley malt. Also the product must be stored in new charred oak barrels. Bourbon includes both straights and bonds.


(had to look that up myself )

Heathen. I have one word for you. Laphroaig.

markfiend wrote:Laphroaig.

That's not a word, it's a throat infection.

"There are 3 main ingredients for making Laphroaig - Barley, Water, and Yeast, but the secret ingredient is the People."





And then I saw...'The People':






And THEY'RE IN THERE somewhere

:urff::urff::urff:

Oh, and:

"Apparently during the American prohibition on alcohol they stopped importation of Scotch, but some of the most phenolic stuff (ie Laphroaig) managed to slip through the net: It was imported as a *disinfectant*. The customs authorities must have thought that nothing smelling like Laph. could be drunk for any other than medical purposes..."

Irish Whiskey for me!

YUM!!!

Those old blokes, Iz... I think they're the whiskey/whisky drinkers, rather than the makers.

i have to agree with izzy -irish whiskey is far superior (and guiness is just like alchoholic milk -and it's black.)

haggis is delicious, and no more disgusting a concept than sausages or faggots.
