Alcohol

The line-up: Dermot, Donal, Kelley, Martin, Justine, Ciara, Shannon, and Eadaoin. Everyone seems to love trying alcohol, So, at first thought, everyone should be welcoming the idea until… The Try Channel’s tables will be graced with a variety of Durian spirits, wines, liquors, and beers. I think Martin will be hard-pressed into giving these alcohols a 10 out of 10 this time, as he always seems to do. This should also make Justine’s therapist happy that she will be booking another session to get rid of another round of nightmares. As much as Ciara loves alcohol and insists durian fruit, “really isn’t all that bad”, we can see if she finally changes her tune on this one.

Trappist beer!

A beer suggestion I have for you
It may even beat a mug of home brew

Trappist beers I’m told have great flavour
So try some out and do me a favour

In Canada trappist beer we do not get
But close to you they have them I bet

I hear good things about Westvleteren
Give it a swig and tell me if its better en… (eh? eeeh?)

cheers 🙂

Everything Sweet Woodruff (Gallium Odoratum)

Bear with me – this is fairly unknown in the rest of the world. Woodruff-flavoured things exist mainly in Germany, as well as some countries to the east of it. In Germany it’s called “Waldmeister” (Master of the woods). It has a unique, relatively mild taste and is used in everything from sweets to schnapps. The actual plant is mildly toxic in high concentrations, and while totally fine in amounts used to flavour food, many manufacturers have switched to using aromas imitating the taste and smell of real sweet woodruff. Most woodruff products tend to be green in colour.

Very well known products incorporating sweet woodruff:
– Berliner Weisse (Beer)
– Götterspeise mit Waldmeister-Geschmack (Woodruff Jelly)
– Multiple Haribo sweets (most commonly Haribo Waldgeister)
– Drink syrups
– Ahoy-Brause (soda powder to dissolve in water, but honestly, most german kids dip their finger in it and lick the powder off)
– Maibowle (“May Wine”, similar to mulled wine but with fruits and sweet woodruff – this one’s a real specialty)
– Soda/Pop/Lemonade
– Alcohol (shots, Berentzen Schnapps, etc)
– Tea
– Ice Cream (particularly soft-serve from street vendors)
– Ice lollies (fun fact: German rocket lollies, instead of the yellow pineapple part, have a green woodruff part)

As a German who moved to England 10 years ago, it’s a taste I quite miss. No one’s ever heard of it over here – they gave it out at a German international convention and friends came back raving about “that green stuff”.

You can find images of a ton of German woodruff products below this article:
