I can also taste raw and undercooked onion and mushroom easier than most people. Tiny amounts of either and its the only thing I can taste.

I'm OK with lemongrass, but you may be more sensitive than the average person.

Please don't attend the grand opening of any restaurant I make up.

I've read that men have roughly twice the number of taste buds as women (which begs the question why do they get stuck with the job of cooking?) and also that the corpus collosum of women is greatly more robust than are men's. This would seem to mean they are superior in matters of generalization while being less specialized than men. To put it another way, the right lobe of their cerebrums communicate more efficiently with the left lobe than is the case with men. This has both advantages and disadvantages, but that's the way nature operates. Most people should be able to understand this because we talk about lefties being different, but we're always referring to men. Think about it, with how many women you know do you also know which hand is dominant? For most of you I bet the answer is zero or one. Same question, men that you know. Verstehen Sie?

I can't swing a bat left handed to save my life. On brain hemisphere tests I come up balanced between left and right.

On the other hand I know or know a number of women who are extreme handed. My mother was uber left handed to a point of being very clumsy with anything that had to do with the right hand.

When talking about anything with humans, all you can talk about are trends in the data. For every "male" trait you can find men who don't have them and women who do, but the majority of men may be that way. Same for any other trait and any other group.

The beauty of Korea is that everyone eats a bunch of garlic and kimchi so nobody smells worse than anyone else.

That other thing you guys were talking about: Was it balut, the Philippine rotten duck embryo delicacy?

I know that's not legal everywhere. Where are you at? I think where I'm at, it's legal so long as it's made from corn.

What do you use for flavoring and how long do you cork it before passing it around with friends?

Very nice.

btw, I just saw a news report about how many digital files have embedded within them gps data. If you took that picture from a cell phone you could also be sharing the exact location of your garage.

My favorites are a few small batch bourbons from my "backyard" Breckenridge Bourbon and my favorite overall, Wyoming Whiskey from the north central hinterlands of Wyoming. Recently they placed second in some huge international whiskey competition in New York. The rest of the barrel they used for the competition is available only at the distillery and by mailorder from a place in Jackson WY if you already live where that brand is being sold in stores. Good luck with that... I drank one bottle I bought in November and am saving another for later. Drink there "normal" stuff otherwise.

Thanks for that, I am always looking for small batch distilleries to support. A number have sprung up in North Texas.

Lots of micro-breweries that come and go in a few year's time. I prefer the brown ale (nutty, mildly sweet) ones best. Never acquired the 'taste for those wheat beers but some folks love 'em.

I would so much rather there was an overload of wheat beers than the current overload of IPAs. It's like everybody has decided that drinking beer is cool, and oh hey, strong flavors! Let's blow up our taste buds with hops and bitterness, and only make/drink IPAs! Yeah!!!

No thanks. So boring, and not even very good beer at that. Some of them, you may as well just be drinking alcoholic instant coffee for the bitterness and the buzz. That would be cheaper, too.

Bunch of brainless weasels, who think super Hi-Alcohol, organic, throat clotting, bitter PC is good to drink. MSN paid them a lot to hustle $50 a bottle beer. Maybe there's enough stupid me, me, me, me, yuppies out there, who's taste is in their crotch, to make this an internet event and get MSN involved.

Beer, wine, bourbon, scotch, you name it. It's what you like, and utterly fu** the experts. You see an internat "best" of something, you can be assured it's a paid advert. God, I hate the Internet.

I like the entertainment factor on the naming also, especially the punny ones. There's a brewery in Baltimore that just does pirate themed everything, and that makes me happy. And there's another from Delaware named Sweet Baby Jesus, and is delicious.

I've actually had Moose Drool, I think. Or at least I've seen it around here... I've tried so many at this point that I only remember the ones I would buy again. Moose Drool comes from so far away that, if I have tried it, I've forgotten it/not filed it on my mental "buy this beer again" list because the cost would be prohibitive.

Status: offline 		I have a friend who is a retired sailor. He likes his coffee strong enough to stand a spoon in it and only like yellow wussy beer. He complains all the time about the trend towards micro brews. When he isn't wound up complaining he admits he prefers the low alcohol beers because he can hang out in a bar drinking them all afternoon and stay mostly sober. One or two high alcohol beers and he needs to call a taxi.

I'll imbibe from time to time, but overall, I don't really like the effects of alcohol much. I quit as soon as I start feeling it, to my system the effects are too much like the flu. (I have a weird metabolism.) I'm also a lightweight, so a little will last a very long time. If we don't put a pinch of baking soda in a bottle of wine after opening it, it will go bad before we get around to finishing it.

Putting a little baking soda in wine will create a CO2 layer on top of the wine and it does a marvelous job preserving it. It doesn't change the flavor either. It's a trick my sister learned when working in the chemistry lab at Lowry's Foods.

That's the thing, though. Microbrews don't need to be high ABV... it's just what's in the previously linked list. Most of the micro/craft brews are going to be around the 4.5-6% range. Yes, that's a bit higher than your older non-craft fare (which clocks in at the low-4% area - I want to say 4.2%), but for the better taste? Definitely worthwhile.
