It would seem my relationship with shot-glasses has taken a turn for the better...
So apparently... I like mead.
If you know me in real life, this is amazing. I've tried a multitude of alcoholic drinks from beer to wine to rum to vodka, and I've never liked any of it. I can always taste the bitterness, no matter how disguised, and feel no desire whatsoever to take another sip.
But a friend of mine took a vacation to Scotland last week and brought home a bottle of mead, encouraging us to try it. It smelled sweet, warmed my chest, and left a tangy-honey sensation on the back of my tongue. Mead is rumored to be the oldest fermented beverage on the planet. So... apparently, when it comes to a drink, my body is satisfied with nothing short of the original. Go figure.
