Well today in my English Lit class we studied the Anglo-Saxon classic: "Beowulf". Truly wonderful if you enjoy prose. We also studied about "mead". For those who aren't in the know, mead is a type of honey wine that vikings drank, it is mentioned many times in their short stories and literature of all kinds.
I just thought I'd share this recipe with you all. I haven't made some yet but I think I will tomorrow maybe.
(Oh, it's virtually non-alcoholic because I can't drink alcohol at all; blood thinner; messes with my medication.) I'm sure a quick google will come up with some traditional mead for you.
Enjoy!

Sadly I can't reccomend this beverage. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I prefer Vodka, Scotch, Tequila, Beer. In that order.
What have Vodka and Scotch got over me? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also, I wouldn't put it past the establishment I dined at to serve horrible, cheap merchandise, so perhaps this recipe will remove the tarnish over the name of Mead.

Sorry let me clarify by Vodka is first because I'm Russian, and Scotch is second because the only Scotch I have ever had has been 18 years or older.
And the only Tequila I drink is Patron which oh so very good, not sure how you taste.......
Also I think that recipe is for low/non-alcoholic mead not the standard kind they sell at stores.

Yes I read your post, but Tequila probably doesn't know that normal mead isn't virtually non alcoholic so I was informing him of such.
By Traditional mead I meant alcoholic mead... to clear that up. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Tastes mildy of wild flowers, and the mixture is a tightly guarded secret (only 2 people know the full recipe at a time).

The stuff served at the Medieval bash <i>was</i> alcoholic, that didn't stop it from being God-awful.

Well there's a lot of god awful drinks out there. That's why I stick to vodka tonics at bars as most of their speciality drinks just give you heart burn and the drinks girls order for you make you want to vomit.
/me shudders at the memory of a dosequies sour with tequila, caramel, and a lemon drop.
Well not exactly anger, just my favorite pastime NakedPaintball. The naked comes on my friends part when they are oh so suggestive due to the effects of alcohol. The Paintball comes from my sadistic side while my friends doff their clothes.
It's best when they are trashed enough not to remember how they got all those welts.
I just thought I'd share this recipe with you all. I haven't made some yet but I think I will tomorrow maybe.
