What are you listening to?
celticgeek:
Tonight I am having another shot of Bunratty Meade, and listening to my newly delivered CD of Lena Hughes. The CD is wonderful, and the Meade is wonderful.
Bluesummers:
Bunratty sounds like an interesting drink....How does meade compare to brandy?
Currently listening to: "In For The Kill" by La Roux.
celticgeek:
Mead is a honey wine. There are those who do not think that Bunratty Mead is real mead, and it may not be. However, it is a sweet wine, with a crisp taste, and an after taste that I can't truly identify, although it reminds me of anise. I really like it.
My daughter and son-in-law brought sample bottles of it back from a trip to Ireland, and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. They also brought me back a sample bottle of pocheen, which I have not tried yet.
Bluesummers:
Ahh, okay. In that case, mead would be closer to rum, which is distilled from sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. An excellent beverage indeed. Potcheen's method sounds similar to American moonshine, usually distilled from corn, but uses other materials when necessary (barley, bananas, etc).
Aaaaand to keep these posts from defaulting to the sobriety thread...I am currently listening to my cat purring over the lyrical majesty of Mr. Freddie Mercury and his delightful companions. They're crooning a ballad known as "Bohemian Rhapsody".
celticgeek:
Yes, potcheen is essentially Irish moonshine. And I am currently watching my cat (who is trying to sleep on a shelf above my computer) as I listen to Alex Beaton, currently singing "Sound The Pibroch".
