Hobbies and Other Non-Political Assorted Interests

Sad, didn't know that or pick it up when I visited. Not sure if there is a connection here, but Argentina and Chile are considered culturally the most European societies in South America. Hmmm.

 

It's the Italianite portion of the society - partly, I think. There's also a bit of a class thing with the Spanish Spanish versus the South American Spanish. This seems to have developed more strongly in the towns of the Pampas societies than the mountainy-jungle societies of South America. Although you notice a similarity of it in South American histories and novels of the 19th century.

But those Olive skinned European Chileans and argenitnes definitely often look down upon the darker, more indian-ancestored peruvians, Bolivians and paraguayans.... I've heard it as first hand.

 

hmmm.... wine is as far from work as I can imagine!

 

I was down in Bangor in Maine once - but hang on, Bangor is in Down ...

What is going on? What's next? The White Rabbit? The March hare? gemme outta here...

 

More scotch than bourbon for me. But sounds like @usscouse likes the smoky/peaty variety. I lean more towards something smoother. Best I’ve had is a Macallan 18

I love the 4 Roses Small Batch Select bourbon. Can get a little sweet

Both served with a big rock.

 

I take my bourbon straight - no rocks, fruits or vegetables.

 

It is for me

 

Aye that too, although my current nickname is 3 beer Charlie (on those non 10 Guinness days that is).

 

Edited to reflect my other ‘Guinness’ personality

 

Loves my Guinness. Best in the world is drawn in Dublin in my experience.

 

Yep. That is true.....

 

Christ - there's more Bangors than towns Epstein and Trump hung out in - its bloody everywhere.....

 

Or the world's largest leg bag. You could down as many pints as you wanted and not leave the match for a leak with that jacket.

 

Home to a great University and a F**** off big hill separating the Library from the Student Union.

 

I’m also learning more about Sake. This one is amazing

 

A very fine sake indeed. Daiginjo refers to the amount of outer material polished off the rice grains prior to fermentation to achieve a clean, crisp, floral sake that is best drunk slightly chilled in a white wine glass - this has the maximum amount of polishing. Junmai means literally "pure rice", there is no brewer's alcohol added to the grain to enhance flavor. Very pure. Yes, somms have to know sake as well.
