Le Prevo Round Knife Help

Oh darling, I hope you brought back some of that excellent single malt. Little known over here, but one of the best Speysides.

Aberlour is my favourite easy drink whisky. I also like Talisker and love Laphroaig. I really like Drambuie, have you tried that? It's a whisky liqueur, but the recipe supposedly came from Bonnie Prince Charlie so it's grand.

First time I got drunk was with my Dad on Rusty Nails (whisky and Drambuie). I was 12, my mum was not pleased.

Names off other foods you can get in the UK are Faggots....Fitless Cock Hobnobs a nice yummy banger Toad in the hole and nothing like having a nice cream tea.

Don't forget ginger nuts, though personally I don't like them

Ginger nuts are better when you dip them and get them wet.

Beat you on the getting drunk age Kerryanne. I was one and a half. I would not go to sleep when there was a party at my granddads. So he gave me a wee tate of whisky saying that will knock the wee bugger oot. What he did not know was my granny my uncle and my own dad had the same idea. I was more awake in my cot after that. and still like a dram today

Kerryanne,

Yes, I have tried Drambuie and it was ok, however I really don't like anything in my whisky but, only if necessary, a few drops of water. ++ on the Laphroaig or Ardbeg if you like the smoke (ok by me).

I'm from an era when alcohol was medicinal, and as a baby I had my share (at least I'm told); it gave me a most welcome appreciation for C2H6O. Of course my own kids were not deprived of the wondrous nectar. I recounted some of these experiences at a gathering of progressive types one night and was thereafter treated as if I had Genghis Kahn and about 250 of his most trusted compatriots locked in the shop (garage) waiting to be unleashed onto the unsuspecting neighborhood. Good thing the kids were grown-up or they would never have gotten babysitting jobs after that. Of course there were the liberal progressives (tree hugging, Prius driving, spotted owl saving, upstanding people that they are) who were thoroughly convinced that I was some kind child molester. I guess I should have known after the wife smacked son on the ass in church for screwing around (and generally being the wise-ass everyone knew he was, being the product of my evolutionary skills), and promptly receiving more than eight but fortunately less than a full dozen smoking letters extolling our various virtues and how to not apply them to our children. But I digress; after that I need a whiskey.

Trox Fid is a Scottish word for food. Fud is another Scottish word that is very rude. You would call someone a fud if you are insulting them. Also in Scotland if you are a friend then we might insult you to show you are a friend, I would be banned from this site if I told you some of the names I call my friends.

I will explain the word Fud. So be warned stop reading if you don't like rude words.

A Fud is the part of the woman's body a baby comes out.

Thank for the explanation, that's what I thought it meant yes.

Art, shame you don't like Drambuie - I bloody love it!

gmace99 I was of course teethed with whisky - that is just standard lol. My pals mum use to put a wee bit of whisky in his milk!

I went for Afternoon Tea today and winked round the table about the 'cream tea'. The English wimin did not laugh and Adam just just gave me the sigh of a long-suffering man. I'll have to remember about liking to dip ginger nuts for the next time :D

Kerryanne,

The best thing I can do with Drambuie is put it in my coffee after dinner. It is a little too sweet to drink straight. Have you tried Southern Comfort, absolutely horrid stuff, might be a USA thing. The 100 proof will sneak-up on you and knock you on your keister.

Where I live we use something a bit stronger in the coffee. It's between 94 and 96 % pure alcohol and we make it our self. I belive you call it moonshine. We call it coffee doctor over here, I think that's because you often need to see one after drinking it

I never drink whisky unless it is for medicinal purposes. As I have a bit of athritic pain I have to take a we dram about twice a month.

When I was a kid I wanted to be an alcoholic when I grew up. I think its good to have an ambition. However my ambition went downhill and I became a saddle maker.

Trox I taught in South Carolina for about a year and moonshine was a good local measurement.

As to drinking laphroaig. You would get the same taste if you went to Islay and ate the peat straight of the ground.

You have to age it a little (well a lot) to mellow that out. You can't just go and lay down under the still spout! Bruichladdich (I hope I'm spelling this correctly) is something you might want to try, especially some of the unpeated versions. They casked some before they closed, and then reopened, but it is 25 years old and might cost an arm and leg. Some of the newer stuff is lightly peated also.

Never was much of a drinker (except in my 20s when I was pretty good at it), but the Dr. told me to start a one or two a day program. I appreciate his advice. I also sleep better too. Whiskey is kind of a hobby now. Never more than two a day, well ALMOST never.
