So that puts me at a 79 out of 100.? Not bad.? I’ve heard of Barolo but never tried it.? Perique is something I’ve been wanting to get and haven’t been able to find.? I don’t know about Pulque or Chicha, but maybe I’ll hit a Hispanic market around here.? The various rums are easy – yes, I’d like to try them.? Some of these, like the cough syrup and the Screech – seem to be fairly uniquely Canadian.? The Chateau Margaux is probably too expensive for me.
Mongolian fermented horse milk?? Yikes.? Same with the weasel coffee, but I’d probably try one of each just to say I had.
Aryan?? Sure, what the heck.
The wines?? Oh, sure, what’s the worst that could happen.
I’m pretty certain I’ve had the Ceylon Tea.
Who wants to send me some Perique?
The alcoholic version of chicha is homemade. I tried it because my friend found someone Bolivian who was bootlegging it out of her house. You can find non-alcoholic chicha, but it’s not the same.
Why does the list have both Sauternes and Chateau d’Yquem? The latter is a subset of the former.
Why does it have Canadian cough syrup on there? As I mentioned, I didn’t write it…you’d have to ask Darcy.
