Dinner Time!

[Apázlinemjó]

So I thought. Like I said adding normal water is considered an insult around here aswell although I should add that adding soda (what counts is the Carbon dioxide not the water) is quite common and very popular - its done with cheap wines in pubs to give them a better aftertaste. It really makes those better, but it should not be used with quality or sweet wine - most of the time it just spoils it.

I don't think that the Western Europeans know these drinks like:

"Fröccs" = cheap white wine + soda
"Vadász/Leó/VBK" = cheap red wine + cola
"Dízel" = cheap wheat beer + cola
"Fény" = cheap vodka with raspberry syrup poured from soda syphon
I don't know it's slang name = energy drink + champagne

In Norway a mix of liquor and soda (originally brandy or whiskey) is called a "pjolter". I think you'd be laughed at if you ordered that now, as it's a bit old-fashioned. I could be wrong though, as I don't go to bars.

According to the wikipedia, "kongepjolter" is a mix of champagne and cognac, while "pjoltergeist" is a pun that describes alcohol-induced hallucinations.

Ah, but you forgot the famous combination of cola+soda!

Drink of the Gods! (of heart faliure)

Right now I am in the mood for lying in the sun just outside Rhodes harbour with a kebab of roasted swallows and a side dish of fish fried in olive oil, some local olives and goats milk cheese. Drinking some diluted wine and just watching the ships come and go.

I can see it before me already, wow I would love that!!

I would also enjoy a sunny day as Romani aristocrat at my Campanian villa. Drinking some Falernian wine, eat some meat snacks served by my servants, maybe have someone play one of those authentic Romani themes. Ah... That would be life....

So long as it's an EB Romani tune...
