Sanatogen tonic wine still has the very thinnest layer of *if I squint really hard* distantly plausible deniability, but did you know that Buckfast is also a tonic wine? For those who have never heard of it, Buckfast is tonic wine made by monks and its major ingredient after a shitload of alcohol is caffeine, so it is SUPER popular with crazy street drunks. I used to know a guy from Northern Ireland who, when sober, had a really mild manner and accent. After a bottle of bucky, he was a wildman with the densest nordie accent

Legit the only time I've ever tried whiskey was for medicinal purposes. I was coming down with a gunky sore throat and someone told me JD would clear it out. It did not.

I've always thought whiskey tastes like some kind of fuel that no-one ought to be consuming but that was Irish standard blended whiskeys. I tried a few single malts recently, and while they were not my absolute cup of tea, they were a lot less aggressive.

That's so weird, because the early half is very Scots, and the latter is very not; the latter tone is, to my not very expert eye, very not accurately Scottish at all. I'm no Scot, but Ive spent plenty of time in the company of highland Scots and they are not quiet about being loving Scottish.

Ladies after giving birth sometimes need iron supplements, this is aimed at those who will claim they have this wine for medicinal purposes.

I'm not gonna go hard against it, a bit of dark chocolate can be good in chili and I imagine coffee would do something similar. I could see that extending to tomato based pasta sauce more generally, I dunno if it's bolognese in the end though.

Yeah strong brewed coffee is a trick to add some depth of flavor to a dish if you don’t have time to go low and slow or don’t take the time to develop some flavor through browning when starting it out. It doesn’t make the dish taste like coffee, but it does help bring a little balance to something that would otherwise be very umami-heavy and one-note.

Spag Bol sounds like a slur. For what marginalized group? Couldn’t tell you. But it’s got that vibe where you can imagine someone screaming it at you out of a car.

My late great aunt used to put coffee grounds into her goulash. It was black as tar and really rich, hella good  I don't do it myself but I like to use dark chocolate/cocoa sometimes.

Adding small amounts of chocolate or coffee to savoury dishes sounds strange, but it isn't much more crazy then adding salt to sweet dishes.

I tried adding a touch of cinnamon to a batch of chili the last time I made it, like maybe 1/4 teaspoon in the whole batch and I won’t be doing it again.

Laphroaig is designed to be as peaty as possible and should never be anyone’s first introduction to scotch or whisky.
