>> The Brits vend an alcoholic fizzy drink.

Except in the West Country, where it is opaque, extremely strong, sold only in half-pints, and is - as Pratchett says - "mainly apples".

Pratchett may say it's only apples but in fact it's mainly ethanol. I know, I spent most of my larval state in the West Country.

Back oop North, it's snowing very heavily. smiley - snowballsmiley - llabwons

I wish a truely happy year ahead to all of you, my friends.

May it hold less violence, less anguish and less suffering for the entire world. May it be a damned sight better than the one that we are leaving behind.

I pray that hostilities will lessen, that enmity will dissolve and that people will learn to love instead of fight.

I pray for better health for those in need, for continued health for those enjoying it.

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone enjoys themselves--even if their evening consists of curling up on the couch and taking it easy or going to bed early. smiley - zzz

Happy New Year, everyone smiley - hug

My Mum made explosive ginger beer, Dad used to joke about calling in his Bomb Squad unit to deal with it. The ones that didn't explode where very good though.

H became veggie nearly 20 years ago. He read a book by some chap who said that the amount of antibiotics and steroids fed to farm animals would eventually have a serious effect on both animals and humans. He gave up eating red meat and over a period of a couple of years found that he went off poultry then finally fish. I haven't cooked tofu for him yet, but do use paneer, an Indian hard cheese, from time to time.
