Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Does anyone know of any shops or supermarkets that sell cachaca at all (a Brazilian liquor) Tried Oddbins, nae luck. You'll have to go more up market than that, you need a good independent booze shop, you can get decent bottles in Peckhams in Glasgow. Various online places sell it as well and the cheaper online bottles are still less even delivered than the ones in Peckhams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always entertains me how they want to be as a 'fancy' shop but have a name which just makes me think of Only Fools and Horses. Maybe they've just whooshed me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of trying sake next. What does cachaca taste like? I've never heard of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm travelling round Europe for a month at the start of the summer and have no idea what countries I'll end up in and what currencies I'll need, so what is the best/ cheapest/ most efficient way of accessing my money whilst I'm out there? I'd assume there must be better ways than just using my bank card at cashlines and incurring massive fees every time. Apply for a Halifax Clarity Credit Card. See details here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money I have one that I only use for money when I'm abroad, but you have to be able to afford to pay it off in full as soon as you get the statement. Personally, I pay whatever balance is owing within a couple of days of getting back, then only have to pay pennies of interest on the cash advances when the statement comes in. Last trip abroad, I spent around £800 on the card, got a great conversion rate on my Euros and was charged 94p in interest charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other half likes capirinha cocktails so thought it would be a nice surprise. By that I really mean I want some with added bonuses from her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly a bit out of the way for you, but have you tried Gordon & MacPhail in Elgin? Oh, Oh, and Luvians in Cupar.

I thought Gordon & MacPhail was just a distiller group? Is there a secret warehouse full of rare magical drinks or something? Please say yes, I'm in Keith tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I really hope so or I've just been playing Temple Run for an hour and a half. That's pretty much the reason I ask, I thought I'd lost an hour but every clock I own is either in a computer or a phone so automatically changes for DST. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I really hope so or I've just been playing Temple Run for an hour and a half. I looked at the clock. I thought I had been watching Dad's Army clips on youtube for an hour and a half. Time well spent if you ask me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have a mortal and pestal and crushed ice, they are a total bitch to make at home, they always turn out way too strong and I don't know why. In Brazil they give you a massive glass full and just give it a wee mix in a glass and it is strong but not brutally so like the ones I've made at parties or whatever, and I've tried it loads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Does anyone else remember the mushroom and wine variety of Pasta'n'sauce? I used to love it but I haven't seen it in years. I think I posted the very same question on this thread a while back - can't remember whether or not it was answered but I believe they've been discontinued, which is a real shame as they were much better than the Chicken and Mushroom flavour I've now had to settle for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
