"...the wine of the Greeks,mixed with pitch,resin and chalk, was for us undrinkable...

We know how to prioritise:)"

Chalk!? Sounds to me like your Latin taste is all in your Latin mouths! You just don't appreciate the subtle uncreated mysteries/energies of our libations. Imagine saying such a thing about retsina! Nectar of the gods, I tell you, nectar of the gods (and good with lamb too, cuts the grease)! :)

I know, I use it as my dishwashing liquid; leaves all the dishes squeeky clean. But, get this, it's like an antibiacterial soap #151; kills germs and the some. :)
