How's the head this morning, Fredrik?

I've tried to train myself to avoid telephones and my computer keyboard when I've been on the lash. I'm not always successful, and am sometimes surprised at some rather nice CDs turning up a few days later!

Dear Friends,

I am not too bad! I would have been ill on anything else I reckon! Fredrik

Fredrik-
When you feel that itch again try,"Level" vodka.
Smooth as silk and needs nothing with it..

Hi, I have just joined and am writing from Poland. Polish Vodka is excellent but must be very very cold. Keep it in the freezer - there is enough alcohol and it will not turn to ice. After that you get flavours of fruit as you drink it. I have not tried Pan Tadeusz but Wyborowa is the favourite and very cheap!!

I am glad this Thread has not died out. I suspect Christmas will never be the same again for me now! Fredrik

Chaps

Vodka has a reputation for making you impotent.

This may or may not worry you but you have been warned.

Dear Mick,

That is no harm for me then, as I could hardly think of less fine idea than setting loads of little Fredriks or Fredrikas loose on the world, either for thier sakes' or the world's!

But for those who care, thanks for the heads up!

All the best from Fredrik

There is some truth in that statement I guess, but I'll attribute it to the fact that alcohol makes you impotent in large enough quatities. Unlike malt whisky, if you hit vodka hard it doesn't hit back, but the alcohol is there all the same.

Indeed it is, because you still have one open enough to see the drink overflowing in the glass

Fred, I once tried some firewater in portugal when with the army, that was one episode best forgotten.
An interesting story on the subject of vodka, a guy I know had access to some cheap vodka, enough to say that! anyway, a bar manager he knows asked him how much he was selling it for, the guy replied £15 a bottle, the bar manager asked him to get him a box.
Anyhow, you can guess what is coming, he had a visit from the weights and measures people, he was only syphoning the cheap plonk into legit bottles and selling it as the dear stuff!
Hope you did not have too much of a hangover fred...

Finnish makes me fine and polished,
while fine Polish makes me finnished.
Or was it the other way round?

Try another glass

Our Polish Aupair brought us back a bottle of Vodka from the homeland disguised as a Fire Extinguisher even though I dont really like Vodka I thought the packaging was cool
I´ll probably drink it one day

Another blast with another classic Polish Vodka - Zobrowka - this weekend. Two bottles, so expect a short, or even a permanent silence after ther weekend!

Oh, and between each shot necked, eat something light like a canopé of biscuit, cheese, olives salami, onions, caviar, whatever.

Na Zdravoviev!

Dear Steve,

Pawel, purveyer of Zobrowka says that a good trick is a long glass of apple juice to be taken as necessary between the real stuff, which shall be policy this time. Actually I am not so worried about the really long term! Is there one? Herford is the allged home of apple juice though an awful lot comes here from France, because there is no way the Hereford Orchards could ever supply the biggest Cider makers in the world. Of cousre the best do use real local apples! There is a reason Bulmers are now a part of the commodity market rather than a really independent company!

Fredrik

Any kind of fruit juice is good as an in-between. When I was in Slovakia if you asked for a vodka with fruit juice they always turned up in separate glasses.

Dear Steve,

Isn't is odd, but the method looks entirely sane to me, and yet in UK we talk of taking more water with it, which in my view spoils a good malt!

Fredrik

Ahh, a thread that takes me back to the good old days of the forum. I wonder what Vuk is doing now...

Dear Friends,

The next classic Polish Vodka is still in the future, and the anticipation is building! But tonight I had two glasses of rather nice bottled Polish beer.

Firstly Tyskie and then Lech to follow.

A good session is planned for Friday after work, so I expect I shall be resting on Saturday (and Sunday}! [Low bandwidth smiley]

Fredrik

PS: Apparenty there was very funny advert for Tyskie in Poland not so long ago. I am not entirely sure it is PC though. I got it rather quickly. Tyskland is the Norwegian for Deutschland...

Dear Friends,

If you fancy a real treat and enjoy beer, try Tyskie. I actually bought four cans (in Worcester) on the way from work to try it again. Tremendous.

The icing on the cake is that it is 99 pence per can!

How would you describe the taste of Polish Vodka?

It is some years since I had it, but in our late teenage years a friend and I discovered the -to us- exotic-sounding 'Sliwowicz', Polish plum vodka.

I remember it as being very, let us say, 'warming'.

I believe that sometimes it is added to tea to give it some pep.
