Welcome!

Oh and do mind the gaps between forums... the Squidlings hunt in the time/space vacuum there and they leave horrible purple suction marks on your legs or what ever they can grab...

Will probably stash a couple of bottles of Young's Double Chocolate behind the bar for dessert, though. 

Last time I tried it I got the impression "you aren't supposed to drink this... you are supposed to eat it with a spoon!"

It's not really my cup of tea, I think of it as an somewhat acquired taste, and I haven't really acquired it yet...

You are such a mean man...

Well, I could recommend many many many different beers...


For start, Budvar. Of course.

Then: B.B. Budweiser Bier (not to be mistaken for Budweiser Budwar), Starobrno, Staropramen, Velkopopovicky Kozel (that would be an interesting one for goat, as "kozel" mean goat)...

There so many of them around here, I couldn't name them all...

Basically in most cases, you can't go wrong with Czech beer. But I wouldn't recomment the brands Holba, Litovel, Zlatopramen, Primus...


EDIT: If you ever have the chance, try Cerveny Drak (Red Dragon). It's a Czech red beer, very tasty indeed:

I have tasted Starobrno, Staropramen, Litovel, Zlatopramen and of cause Urquell...

Now this gets very interesting, I think, I do think Starobrno and Staropramen is better than Litovel but I also think that both Urquell and Zlatopramen pretty decent too. 

What do you think of Baron?
I have never had Drak or any Czech red beer, I think Staropramen Granat is the only Czech red beer available here.

When in Prague I did drink a beer with a hedgehog on the cap... But that was a long ago and it was pretty night so I don't remember exactly what I thought about the beer.
It must have been pretty tasty since I usually don't drink (or eat) anything I don't like. 


Sorry for me going Aggie

OK, Kiyoodle so which Czech beers do you recommend?

Also I can say this much, compared to a lot of Swedish beers Zlatopramen is quite good...
Not to mention Carlsberg....   

Highland Park is always good! But around here it is fairly expensive so I didn't think about that one.

Also, calvados in apple pie especially the French Tart Tartain type. You need to try that. Mmmm, I should really ask if my friend with all the apple trees need some help picking and eating her apples...

I like Boulard Calvados Grand Solage and Calvados Pays d'Auge Réserve the later is a little bit more expensive here but both are in the lower price range.

Oooh, my line of work!

The beer suggestions sounds good especially with the the budget in mind. Otherwise as a really good Czech beer I would recommend Zlatopramen or Gambrinous.
   
Famous Grouse is another cheap but passable whisky, I'll personally take that or even Johnny Walker Black Label over Chivas Regal any day... But that's just me.
But I do think Glen Livet is the best choice if you have guests that enjoys a whisky as a avec after dinner, it's more complex and full-bodied than the others.

Calvados may be a good idea too, make sure to buy a nice aged one though, Apple flavoured gasoline makes nobody happy. 

Appleton Estate and reasonable price in the same post!!! I got to visit Canada!

White Rum go with Bacardi, it's OK not great but works well in drinks, just avoid Bacardi Lemon, Razz and Mellon...

Vodka I have no idea... I don't drink that stuff. *shudder*

As for your old whisky, drink it with the close ones at your wedding and toast for your granpa, I'm sure he would have liked it that way, and get your dad to buy another bottle of whisky or cognac for your first born...

I don't think I am, but at least now I have a name for my character...
"Duchess Darlica the Dulcet of Biggleswade by Biscuit"

The only times I should read stuff like this is when I feel my blood pressure dropping rapidly and I'm about to faint because this would probably send it back to normal level and a bit above it too...

...

How can any parent willingly put their kids through anything like this? I don't understand.

I'm listening to Sibling Qwertyuiopasd...

And NIN and Laibach... The above mentioned Sibling woke my inner Industry Girl and now she won't go to sleep again.

On the same subject but a different note, there are few things I find more relaxing than taking a day out in the woods picking berries or mushrooms.

So, while enjoy to actually do some gathering, I don't like to do it in shops!
    Yep, my brain is stuck in the stone age...

Ahoy Captains!
Oi don't know how t' play t' accordion so Oi guess Oi'm out o' question for Captain Tanguerra.
As Oi said Oi usaly don't make fisheadstew (it was consiredered thought of as biological warfare were Oi took me cookin' classes, Oi believe our headmaster once sailed on t' wrong side o' Black Bart's ship...) However Oi make a mean fishtail soup that be very good for avoidin' t' scurvy. Lots o' lemon an' potatoes an' chilli.

T' Captain Jackdaw: Oi don't think thar will be any trouble with Captain Kitty t' ship sailed o' with me and some o' t' rats that port t' ship durin' t' fire was port behind (t' rats was mighty angry until they found a box o' cheese that must have been thrown overboard in t' confusion). T' fire on t' decks be now put out Oi believe but t' last thin' Oi saw was some black smoke and flyin' critters which Oi believe to be bears circulatin' t' mast...

Anyhow Oi'll sended her a message and resived t' answer that it was OK.

Oi'll look fore t' sail with ye'.

Yers Arrghly!

Food shopping is fun some times, clothes, shoes and such my SO has to drag me to the shops.

I don't think it is the high calorie items I remember best... I tend to remember where most  items I buy on a weekly term are located, so I do know where the milk, carrots and tomatoes are, but not the honey or sugar since I don't buy any of that very often.

Hi and welcome!
