Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

Great , even good beer is more difficult to brew than wine. It takes skilled brewmaster.

I worked for a contractor installing a new mixer in Molson's brewery on Burrard street in downtown Vancouver. When I got the dispatch, I thought, oh good, beer with lunch. Well they stopped that a few months before. It seems the grain truck drivers from the prairies were abusing that. Think of driving a large semi out of downtown Vancouver smashed. I never got a free case or even a single beer. I'm a Canuck fan, in fact from the days of Pacific League , so I never buy Molsons.

Give the boys there a salute from me if you get there pls.

Yes, sir

After you've drank "culvert beer" of unknown aging process ( 1 month or 6 who knew) for a few years, anything fresh from a store is "good beer"

Is that similar to culvert water?

Paint thinner..

I didn't know they offered tours. There's a pit bbq place just north of Shamokin that I've always wanted to stop into. I'm thinking Arlington this trip and possibly DC.

Shamokin or Shamokin Dam (on 11/15). If the latter and you’re referring to Skeeter’s BBQ, I stopped there 15+ years ago and wasn’t impressed.

Now Andy Nelson’s in Cockeysville, MD (near I-83) is the real deal.

I built a reflux still, all copper and silver solder and easily produced a 95% ethanol product . cut 50% with water and the first mouthful, your teeth went numb. Interestingly it also gave no hangovers.

You don’t think we drank we drank Purple Passion just because we liked grape juice, do you?

Congeners: How They Affect Alcohol and Hangovers

Congeners are byproducts of alcohol being fermented or distilled. Some research suggests they may have something to do with more severe hangovers.

There's a BBQ place in Virginia that slices the meat on a cutting board at the order counter- a customer commented that "that's how you know it's authentic". Doesn't matter if you order pork beef brisket sausage etc it all gets cut up the same way

And that's the only BBQ joint I've been to that does it that way. Their collard greens are amazing

On top of a hill on the left as you head down Rt15. It’s kind of a Yuppie place.

King’s in Petersburg (not too far off I-95) is like that: they have a separate door for takeout and cut to order on the counter.

“Real” BBQ joints don’t use plates, just thick reddish brown butcher paper.

You can laugh- Mexican and tacos was a learning curve, both on how to order and how to eat it. BBQ we still working on

I love how the USA expects you to know these things. My Spanish is poor so that's been part of the fun

As we wander into the realm of the BBQ , the South Africans treat braai (BBQ) very seriously, women aren't allowed near. As it should be. I'm going to get flack for that. My wife and I were on a self driven , self guided safari in Namibia . At one campground, I tried my hand at braai, grilling oryx steaks over real locally produced charcoal fire, not Kingsford briquettes. And certainly not propane.

Not Whisk(e)y, Wine or Cheese; however food and near & dear to some of you:

"Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., is recalling over 15,000 pounds of beef jerky and beef snack stick products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on June 3.

"The Utah-based company recalled its products after FSIS discovered during a product observation that the Worcestershire sauce used in its products had anchovies, an ingredient that was not declared on its label." (emphasis mine)

At first I thought this was as bad as Costco recalling butter because it didn't state that it contained Dairy, but wait:

"FSIS added that Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., previously did not use anchovies in its Worcestershire sauce, but that a new version of the sauce does."


OK, how do you make "Worcestershire Sauce" without anchovies???

 

[Susquatch]

IMHO, it's not possible. You can make a similar steak sauce, but technically it won't be Worcestershire Sauce.

Furthermore, it can't be made in the USA.

Did you know that the correct pronunciation is:

WUStersure?

WUS as in whimp
ster as in stir or mix together
shur or sure as in positive

Let the debate begin!

Wait for it......

Who will be first?

I bet the whole forum weighs in on this one........

LMAO!

 

[Downwindtracker2]

Heck ! that would be the same as Caesar salad with out anchovies.

Shire is pretty commonly used in Aus and it's spoken as it's spelt.

Worcestershire Massachusetts is pronounced Wooster, or however it's spelt, same as Louisville KY is pronounced Lou-ville

Actually, it’s Worcester, MA -
no “shire” (been there), but yes it is pronounced “wooster.” I have heard “Worcestershire Sauce” referred to as “Wooster Sauce” by those in the UK, but can’t say if that’s just because it’s easier.

Concord, NH is pronounced “conquered” by its inhabitants (been there, too: my wife frequently gets annoyed when a place is mentioned on TV and I say “I’ve been there!”).

Getting back on track (-ish), I believe the preferred pronunciation is “Woostershire Sauce.”

Nope. Although you are close both the Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries, which apply in England, where the sauce originates, say that the correct pronunciation of "Worcestershire sauce" is "WUSS-ter-sheer" or "WUSS-ter-shur"

Say it quickly, blending the syllables together—don’t pronounce every letter you see.

As I said earlier I was always told the second one - "WUSS-ter-shur".
