I just had my first taste of Mead

[Xipe Totec]

Oh, my God!

Why didn't anybody tell me mead tasted so good!

[ACTION BASTARD]

1. Can you explain a bit more, please?

What brand? Where did you get it? Did you see Thor, Hercules or a pissed off viking nearby?

[Xipe Totec]

12. It's the one in the picture - Chaucer's

Saw the Viking, but he didn't see me!

:scared:

2. You say that now... but you haven't tried mine yet.

:evilgrin:

[ACTION BASTARD]

5. Aye, a manly bottle tis appears to be!

[DarkTirade]

8. That's my hearty winter mead.

I used the thickest, darkest honey I could find. Then added a bit of molasses for an extra kick, and some gingerbread type spices. :)

[Xipe Totec]

14. Do you have a recipe?

To share, I mean.

[Xipe Totec]

13. And many a bottle disappears! n/t

3. Mead is so yummy.....

all sorts...strawberry, raspberry, pear, mince, blackberry
last year prickly cactus...they are very, very into it...

4. Really? I Thought It Was Sickly Sweet

Bought some when I was in the UK and brought it back. The first glass was okay, but couldn't drink much more.

7. Grape juice is sweet too, doesn't mean the wine made from it has to be.

[Xipe Totec]

15. It's a desert wine

a little goes a long way!

10. semi interesting story used to date a girl whose last name was mead

from quite a straight laced family.
Saw a bottle of it and bought it for her.
it did not go over well with her family.
it was our last xams....

[Lucian]

11. Isn't it awesome?

It's ambrosia from the gods!

17. I'll have to try some again.

The last time I had some mead was in a little pub with very low beamed ceilings, a roaring fireplace and horse brasses glowing all around. Memories.
