If you insist but do inform Mr Dish should you see him that any sensitive areas should be well covered before the application of alcoholic beverages.

Oh, I thought it was a brand of lemonade. Do never mind.

Seriously though, Ollie, do you know of a more disgusting drink? I'm surprised at you, really I am.  |

That of course is why it was excluded from my recipe.

Some friends brought us back a bottle from a holiday on the Amalfi coast and I thought it was just about the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. Utterly nauseating. |

While I have placed at least one of my nostrils in the vicinity of the mouth of an open bottle of Limoncello and thus determined that it probably isn't fit for human consumption, I have never knowingly been in the same room as a bottle of Mirto so I really couldn't say. What I know about it doesn't make me want to rush down to the nearest offy and lay in some stocks though. |

pw, you are obviously confused. Limoncello is nommy. The one that is really rank is Pine-flavoured Grappa (although Genepi comes close) Tommo |

Oh this is ridiculous. I have never tried the drink question but now find myself needing to know what it tastes like The colour makes me think of sherbet lemons. So, what does it taste like? Words like 'vile', disgusting' or 'rank' don't quite convey the whole taste experience  |

Words like 'vile', disgusting' or 'rank' don't quite convey the whole taste experience IIRC kind of lemony, very sickly-sweet and with a bit of kick. One sip was enough. Ugh. |

Perhaps you haven't come across habu sake from Okinawa, a rice liqueur flavoured by the delicate addition of a pit viper.  |

The Japanese also eat, as we talked about upthread, fermented soybeans.
They also eat rotten octopus that's been stored in bamboo. But I don't remember what that dish is called; I'll get back to you.

The japanese also eat bits of tree bark marinaded in soy. I know, because they forced me to eat it too, in a remote rural hotel in the mountains some miles inland of Tokyo. Before that, we had had wild bear soup.  |
