Koskenkorva Salmiakki Liqueur - ahahahahaha! also *gags* bleurgh that's vile.

[apiphile]

prologi bought some with her to the Socially Awkward Picnic but inappropriately bogarted it because she's an alcoholic, and I didn't get as much as I'd have liked. IT TASTES OF LIQUORICE I LIKE LIQUORICE.

[kat_lair]

Liquorice and I have issues. Tell you the truth, I'm not that fond of vodka even without liquorice. I'M A BAD FINN, OKAY? :D

[apiphile]

Ah so THAT is why you moved to Manchester. :D

[kat_lair]

Fucking Hotel British Isles, you can check in any time you like but somehow you realise that YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE.

...unless you're non-EU. Then they kick you out pretty fast.

[apiphile]

Hurrah European protectivism. :D

[wolfy_writing]

Is that black stuff? Because one time in the Philippines I was at a beach resort, and my friend and I were playing "Order something you're not sure what it is", and it was black and the owner said "I made it myself!" and it tasted like licorice when I drank it, and I never did work out what it was.

(I think my friend ended up drinking straight vermouth.)

[kat_lair]

It is black stuff, yes. Wiki article. I have no idea if what you drank in the Philippines would have been something similar though... Maybe?

[wolfy_writing]

It looks similar.

Koskenkorva Salmiakki is the best thing in all of creation.

[apiphile]

Better than Chris Addison in tweed?

[prologi]

They are equally amazing.

(I could maybe try sending a bottle in the mail. It's probably slightly illegal, but whatever.)

[apiphile]

I think mssamyx tried sending me some booze from Sweden and the Royal Mail were very rude about it. Perhaps if you label it as something else?

[prologi]

The post website says you're supposed to pay tax or some such noise. I've had barbecue sauce mailed to me with no trouble, and that bottle was exactly the same shape, so lying seems like an excellent tactic. :P

[apiphile]

Muahaha. Anything from my beknighted isle you'd like in return?

[prologi]

Jelly beans or the kind of chocolate with air bubbles. The things I miss most are pubs and comedy, and those aren't the sorts of things that handle air mail terribly well.
