Ok then
Tahiti, do you said?
“Scrumpy in full Maori (te kehukatiki-mana ao scrumpitipu) or kiwi slang (scrump) refers to a variety of cider produced by the Maori abundant in New Zealand. Its origins are ancient, lost in the mists of time and whispered rumours abound in New Zealand public toilets of how and where Scrumpy came from. Some facts are agreed upon by all and sundry. Any New Zealander will be able to tell you, for instance, that Scrumpy is gathered from fallen logs by the native Maoris. They suck the fermented apple juice trapped within the logs out with their elongated noses before returning it to the hive where it is bottled and distributed.”
Certainly, Master Barliman, I prefer my “Tapas”.

You have got a great smile from me. Padrón is next to my grandparents’ village and I love them. If fact, I live less than a hundred km. from Padron
I’m getting hungry after read “tapas” and “pimientos de padron”. I’m going for my 2nd breakfast right now and I assure you It comes with a tapa of spanish omelette

We only drink pure, unsullied Breeland scrumpy here, the sort that involves dead rats etc. Far more healthy.‘Ere, better use a different choice of words ther Barli, or the Bree Vice Squad will raid 😆 , anyhow that’s New Zealand Scrumpy, surely not what you serve in this impeccable establishment a la dead rat, so come on fellows don’t be put off by this Southern Hemisphere stuff, support Barli’s brew
I have always defended Barli´s brew. The only thing that I like to “accompany” their beer with a ´Tapa`, and that it is not dead rat. Sure, the Hobbits are also happy with my suggestion! ….

I just realised that Maori has a very nice ME anagram…Maybe our dear Inkeeper digs really deep to make the scrumpy :rolleyes:
