Vodka from potatoes? Are you brain damaged?

That's not weird at all.
Norwegian akvavit and Polish vodka are often made of potatoes, whereas grain is most often used elsewhere.

And that is mostly because there is better economy of scale, storage and distribution with grain in the modern world. In older days, most Swedish akvavit used to be made from potatoes.

Chopin or Luskasowa beats out almost any corn or wheat based vodka imo
iri is uncultured swine

Cultured people don't drink vodka lmao

I mean, older days in Sweden were sometimes pretty ****. Potato akvavit sounds like something in the ballpark of bark bread. Like, a creative solution to the problem of getting drunk in 1867. But it's 2025 now and you can drink good liquor

Many people buy unflavoured akvavit and infuse it with their own flavourings. People share recipes and make up their own. That is culture.
I personally like akvavit flavoured with elder flower.

Drinking unflavoured akvavit/schnapps/vodka, or drinking anything just to get drunk is uncultured, I'd agree to that.

I can only tolerate schnapps if there is a thick slice of pear in the glass.

Hear, hear.

That is why (with a few exceptions) I drink liquor neat, in small sips over a long time.

Generally whiskey - yes, my father's family goes back 7 generations in Kentucky,

Korean BBQ for Christmas dinner, where they have a grill in the middle of the table and bring you endless meat and sides.
I have not been this full of meat since that childhood Christmas dad came into my room drunk...

My guess is is that noisyturtle was pretty full of drink, too, when he wrote that.

Yeah, that's a predictable result of getting drunk on ****ty vodka.

Pad Thai.
Sometimes my daughter orders this for dinner, so it was time to make one after a longer break.
Supposed to be a simple dish, but jeez, it takes 15 ingredients! Excluding spieces.

Oranges are in season, so I made two batches of orange marmalade today. I didn't use any orange peel because I hadn't got any organic oranges to peel. That was a mistake. The taste is a little lacking.
I could also have upped the ratio of Seville Oranges to sweet oranges.

I hated Gin all my life, then a few years ago I tasted good small-batch Gin with crazy complexity and depth, now Gin is probably my second favorite spirit next to an excellent Rye.

Nothin' beats a good ****in' rye
