Cool! But Elizabeth neglected to mention that when making your own falernum, use a 1 liter bottle for that recipe. But that was cool how she added Rachel's adaptation.

"Experienced palates"

that sounds interesting....

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

First, the writer misrepresented the challenge. It was an offer to create a cocktail we can call our own and toast at our get-togethers.

Second, "shake some nutmeg over it"? To think that we'd ever resort to nutmeg that we'd shake, rather than grate, over a drink. The horror!

We have our own cocktail, and now we have had a newspaper food column devoted to that cocktail. Surreal? Perhaps. Great for us? Definitely. Let's hope we get some Westchester-based users out of it. Liz, if you're reading along, thanks for a great bit of coverage.

Or a soup:  Gully-gatawney.  Or a TV show: Gully-gan's Island?

Soup is good, but a TV show would be definitely off topic .... unless, of course, we were talking very large royalties and a speaking part for Adam Balic :rolleyes:

Too bad the author doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "to pull a punch."

JAZ,

I guess I let the image of Dale pulling a secret ingredient out of a bag get the best of me...

I'll never use that phrase incorrectly again!

Liz, in spite of my tongue in cheek sarcastic comments above, thanks a bunch for the article.  That's great!

Varmint,

I was getting to you next!

Though I know you orignally suggested it for the purposes of toasting, it became a challenge afterward...

And as far as the shaking, I have only ever shook nutmeg, but that's only because I don't have one of those cool rasp graters like Martha Stewart. But I"m sure it would be much better with fresh spice!

Sorry, Liz; I'm not generally that snide. And I know how the urge to use a metaphor can overtake a writer and wipe out whatever knowledge of grammar or vocabulary one possesses. I shouldn't have pounced on it.

Nice article.

First thanks for the article, and discussing it here!

The first time I tried a FOG it was with freshly grated nutmeg. Then I went home and made some of my own with nutmeg off the shelf and there is a HUGE difference. You might as well not even go through the trouble of putting nutmeg in the drink. Maybe that means it's time to buy some new nutmeg?

Nah, I need whole nutmeg and one of those cool little graters so I can be like the cool people. :cool:

We're all someone, right?

Seriously, I should have known that not only would Dale's drink get prodded and poked, so would my article! Thanks everyone for reading.

Maggie -- don't worry, I'm normally just a lurker, so I'm easy to miss.

And Col, I plan to try it with fresh, even if I have to grate it on (horrors!) a box grater.

Oh, and by the way, I found a fun new resource thanks to JAZ:

English Idioms

Serves me right for using a cliche -- even though I was trying to play with it.

The article was not bad at all

its only failure was in not pointing out that the FOG is actually jolly nasty and vile. The one sip of it I had in The Player in London replicated exactly the experience of spending a whole minute in Hades ( or the five years of my second marriage )

I think DDG is a legend a great and a god and his training of staff at The match Group has been exemplary, but this was slop in a bucket.
