Dead fly in bottle

I have never had a beer in India I liked. There was one called black eagle or something and it was horrible! Tasted like they brewed it in oil drums.

Having said that I only have 2 more things to add. One is that they have a Rum called Old Monk Rum and it is great, once you get through your nightmare. I was warned about this effect and sure enough there I am dreaming about throwing grenades at people I love in a supermarket. Once that nightmare passed I enjoyed the rum on a regular basis. It only cost about $5 a bottle and we got it free during the hotel's happy hour.

The second thing is if you have to choke down some Indian beer and don't really like the taste of it, try this, put about 1 ounce of sprite in it. It makes it drinkable. This was shown to our group by one of the Hotel's female managers.

Ok here is an India bonus only for FreeRepublic: Some good indian music to listen to while eating is available on a CD entitled, Dikshitar. Holy smokes we laughed our @sses of when we read the CD cover. It was so funny and embarasing. The chef thought we were laughing at some food and it was just the name Dikshitar that we were laughing at. I laughed for about 30 minutes. You know the kind of laugh you have in School when the teacher tells you to stop laughing and you can't. Sweat busting laugh.

Guess you had to be there

I once bought a bottle of Mezcal Tequila with a dead worm in the bottle and it still tasted pretty good. Can I have some money too?

Two Indians walk into a bar...

You would think one of them would have seen it.

Big deal, I have been know to chase down and eat the bottled worm when south of the border.

that there was no proof to show that the whisky harmed the consumer.

An Englishman, An Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar and order a beer.
Some time later, three flies fly in and plink, plank, plunk! - they land in the three beer glasses.
the Englishmand says "Ewww!" and pushes a way the beer glass.
The Irishman shrugs and picks the fly out, flicks it away and continues drinking.
The Scotsman picks the fly up, squeezes it, and says "SPIT IT OUT, YA WEE BASTID!"

You forgot the Al Sharptons and Jesse "Shakedown" Jacksons types.

The mexicans put dead worms in some of their bottles, what's the big deal!

[dalereed]

That beverage co. would have had a hugh problem if the consumer had found one of their sacred cows in the bottle.

A stinking little fly won't drink much.

Right!

You say fly, I say Swat

I dont see what he is complaining about. I've found worse things in my booze:

No...India is not an Islamic nation (the muzzies make up 14% of India's population though).

Old Monk MEGA BUMP......your post brought back fond memories of days spent with Old Monk when I was an undergrad in India (many moons ago).

Their professional relationship continued for a couple of years, culminating in the BBC Radio series Pet and Mr. Piano, the last time they worked together

[right way right]

Dead fly in whiskey? It's still sterile!
If I got a bottle of JD with a fly, I would still drink it. Then I would eat the fly just to ‘impress’ everyone with my drunkenness.
(OK, those days are actually over for me)
