However, I need some advice. Mrs EW recently returned from Prague clutching a bottle of Slivovica Zlata.

I tried it as a shot, then with Coke. It's vile, but I'm determined to finish it. I just wondered if anyone else has come across

it.
Slivovitz is a fave drink of mine. It needs to be drunk very, very cold, as a shot. Shove it in the freezer for a couple of hours and knock it down.

It's made from plums, and my son's father in law is serbian and makes his own hooch... feckin amazing...

But definitely would lead to brain death if consumed daily...

If you really can't take it straight, think of it as white rum in terms of looking for a mixer, rather than vodka...

or send it to me

It also says (I think) it is made from Ethanol, not alcohol? Which, it seems is perfectly fine, but it does have a very odd aftertaste.

No need to panic - ethanol is alcohol.

And drinking alcohol, to boot.

Now if it had said "methanol", it would be worrying...

Alcohol is a term for the organic molecules with some sort of double bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms.

Ethanol is a molecule with two carbon atoms.

Ask a chemist, if you want any more info....

I might just persevere. Thanks for your concern.

Aye, when we say alcohol, we pretty much exclusively mean ethanol. The rest are a bit deadly.

So actually " I am an ethanolic is the real deal then"

The EA pledge doesn't quite have the same ring to it. In fact you'd probably get sued by the makers of FIFA.

Whenever someone mentions ethanol I always say a little prayer to Hunter S Thompson, then I call my attorney

On a health kick this month, after having a week back home spoilt rotten

usually I get a pack of chicken breasts from sainsburys, then a bag of salad (usually three portions worth) and one of the stir-fry packs from tescos (again, usually three portions worth). Nip to the local shop which does fruit and veg at knockdown prices, that's that pretty much. Usually just whack the chicken in the george forman, then whack it on a salad/ red onion base. If it's the stir fry, I'll eitehr just do a veggie one (at least once a week) or fry another bit of chicken with it. All lovely, like.

I'm fully prepared to be enlightened. Never too old to learn and all that.

Nevermind:

The result of the trip to Las Vegas became the 1972 book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas which first appeared in the November 1971 issues of Rolling Stone as a two-part series. It is written as a first-person account by a journalist named Raoul Duke on a trip to Las Vegas with Dr. Gonzo, his "300-pound Samoan attorney," to cover a narcotics officers' convention and the "fabulous Mint 400". During the trip, Duke and his companion (always referred to as "my attorney") become sidetracked by a search for the American Dream, with "...two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers [...] and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls."

Coincidentally:

Twenty five people including four foreigners have died from drinking methanol-laced palm wine on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, police said.
American Rose Johnson, 48, Briton Alan Cole, 57, and Irish and Dutch citizens whose families requested anonymity were among the people killed over the past two weeks, hospital staff said.

A local man has been arrested for allegedly making the lethal concoction with methanol -- a toxic chemical compound often used as an antifreeze or solvent -- instead of ethanol found in alcoholic drinks, police said.

"He is suspected of producing and selling alcohol containing methanol ... which can cause death. We are investigating whether he did it on purpose," police spokesman Gede Sugianyar said.

As a grilled-rather-than-fried kinda guy, and in need of a feed fix;

Three grilled rashers of smoked bacon
Two grilled pork sausages (97% pork shoulder, apparently)
Two slices of grilled Bury black pudding
Four grilled mushrooms
Tinned tomatoes (seasoned and messed around with to taste)
Two poached eggs (And boy can I now poach eggs

)

Fanfatbastardtastic!

Pasta with homemade tomato, onion and chilli salsa (homemade) mixed with tinned crab meat.

Washing that down with a couple of glasses of Bellaveroni Pinot Grigio.

Speaking of flour....er, you were weren't you? Here's a little tip for frying sausages:

Scatter a little flour on the worktop, drop then sausages in it, stick a fork in them a few times each side then fry. The come up lovely and crisp and the flour helps to shed the grease from them. Larrrrrrvvvlyyyy.
