Maybe try some on your pancakes. Celebrated by artists and aristocrats alike for centuries, absinthe has long been the drink of choice for the creative type; also known as The Green Goddess, The Green Lady or The Green Fairy, the drink used to be a favourite among artists and writers due to it supposedly helping their creative flow. Created using wormwood extracts and leaves, the drink may have roots in remedies used by the ancient Greeks. In 1797 the first absinthe distillery appeared in Couvet, Switzerland. The makers, known then as Pernod Fils, would sell the most popular brand of absinthe right up until 1914, which was when the drink was banned in France. French troops in the 1840s would be given absinthe as a preventative for malaria, and when they came home brought their taste for the drink. Eventually, absinthe would become popular among all social classes, and mass production allowed the price to fall and saw absinthe become one of the most drunk beverages in France. However, its especially high alcohol content would be one of the reasons it was banned in a number of countries in the early 1900s. Believed to be a drink which caused its drinkers to cause trouble among society, mainly by being violent and disorderly, it would not start to be drunk widely again until the 1990s. I'm not sure this is suitable for a Tuesday. I have a pheasant to erect before I start on the alcohol
Ah, the memories... or rather lack off memories, when my local started selling the evil green potion in the 90's..
And an massive spot on your arse makes you break wind like the sound of a popular Japanese motorbike. Or... ‘Abscess makes the farts go Honda’... I’ll get me coat...
