wheat beer - Franziskaner
Drink name Drink makers Drink type Drink strength
Franziskaner? Naturtrub? wheat beer 5%
Ok. So I'm not sure on the name... or the makers of this beer BUT I am sure that the monk on the bottle's label is enjoying the beer he has to an obscene extent.... and perhaps peeing and farting at the same time. It's hard to tell.
This beer has a nice looking bottle, a nice faint smell on opening, a pleasant amount of sediment and a good strong flavour with just the right amount of carbonisation ( which I'm guessing led to the monk on the bottle farting ).
The taste is just right. The brewers haven't held back on flavour and .... AARGH! I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THE FARTING MONK!!
Lemon Larger
Drink name / Drink makers Drink type Drink strength
Bavaria Holland Radler Larger/beer 2%
Theres a lot to be said for fruit added to beers etc but in this case all that is to be said, in my opinion, is pleasently bland.
Radler, which I think is its name but I could be rong, is a bit lemony with a slight taste of larger as an aftertaste.
Its not a milloin miles away from the taste of lemon icetea.
Then again I picked some cans up for 55p so for that price I'd say they're quite good!
Refreshing.

Chicken wrapped in bacon with salad
What could be simpler.
Get some chicken breast, wrap it in bacon, but it in the oven covered in foil for 20 or 30 mins. Then add salad.
Reduced fat coleslaw, boiled new potato's, Swiss chard, iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato's.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Mead
Broardland Norfolk Mead 12.5%
I've never had mead so I'm not sure that this is a good example of it.
I'd like to describe the smell but I can't... ah heck I'll give it a dry. The smell is unpleasantly pleasant and yes I know that that is a contradiction. It's like... It's like a compost heap full of blossoms and sugar!
The taste is of honey, a taste like pollen smells (if that makes any sense) and has a sherry like taste in there with a mild burn on the way to your stomach which fills me with a vague sense of doom.
That bee on the label looks like a wasp pretending to be a bee!
I knew that eventually they'd find a way to fool and subsequently kill all humans!!
I'm not suggesting that this stuff has been made as a hyper intelligent plot by the wasps to poison people.
Norfolk Nog - Ale
Drink name Drink makers Drink type Drink strength
Norfolk Nog Woodforde's Ale 4.6%
Let me start by saying that at the moment this ale is my favourite all time ale... That may change but for now this is top of my list.
I tried a pulled pint from Woodforde's while in Great Yarmouth and loved it so much I found the brewery was near by and went there. I recommend you go. It has a nice pub attached and the gift shop is great.
Right, that out of the way, lets Begin.
This ale has a slight smell to it but nothing strong enough good or bad.
The colour is dark and the taste is rich yet refreshing with malt, hints of chocolate, liquorice and a very slight bitterness to finish.
The bottle label is nice too. Inviting and well representing what I saw of Norfolk.
The only down side is the live yeast in the bottle. Make sure you store standing up and leave the sediment in the bottle.

rabbit pie
After looking at this recipe I decided this was the pie to try making!
Recipe link
I freely admit that I bought a turnip and added it to the recipe and used veg stock and not chicken stock but apart from that I followed it perfectly... sort of... maybe.
Ok so I oven cooked the rabbit in water and I don't think that was what I was supposed to do but what the frak.
Here's the pictures of massacring .. I mean making the pie recipe.
By the way. It was nice but pulling all the flesh off of the rabbit legs has made me not want to ever eat rabbit again.
