The samosas sound good, and the bars as well. I'm glad no-one was burnt. I hope all goes well on the road for Sassafrass.
Flemish red ale. I'm as surprised as anybody.
I'm not really surprised. There are a number of Belgian beers that tend to go over better with people who generally don't like beer. It's especially the case with the ones that use sour cultures in place of conventional yeast.
Was it a Rodenbach? It's been a while, but I remember one of theirs that was intensely tart and delicious. I don't know which lambics you've had, but if you've had, say, Lindemans or Boon and didn't care for it you might like one of the more traditional ones. I remember a Cantillon framboise that surprised and enthralled me with its complex sharpness. I'd had Lindemans and Boon gueuze and kriek before, and knew I liked lambic, but I'd no notion how much more extreme, for want of a better word, the traditional variety was. Then again, I like beer.*
I'm glad for the pleasing cocktails.
I hope Willie Sutton's book has been pleasnt reading, and that the telemarketers stay far away. I wish you sleep and comfort.
*Understood, of course to mean beer, as opposed to industrial lager made from maize and rice and formulated to have as little flavour as possible.
