So I Drunk A Bud

yes, it's sweet, but it's a root vegetable sweet like a carrot, not a white sugar kinda sweet.

kumis is basically fermented horse milk, so it should taste similiar to milk kefir, which is also fermented milk. both have a low alcohol precentage between 1 and 2.5%.

I've done a lot of animal milks I can tell ya, even human and llama milk, and the best ones are really goat, cow and sheep, in that order. the ones with less sugar I liked much better, and horse has pretty high sugar content. probably tastes like rancid condensed milk to be honest. goat milk otoh freakin rules. I drank a whole bottle of goat milk today so fight the inferno I got from making 7 different hot sauces.

Americans get a shock as NZ burgers often have a slice of beetroot in them. Not a fan myself. We have specialty burger joints but for a basic burger you go to a fish and chip shop.

Our favorite one is a chicken and bacon burger minus the beetroot, or a buck burger. Buck burger is around $4.50 USD and it's beef, cheese, bacon, egg, onion, beetroot, lettuce, pineapple.

Sometimes I forget to ask them to hold the beetroot. Local Turkish place has a beetroot puree which l like, I think I just don't like the slimey consistency of beetroot out of a can. And it stains horribly.
 
yeah, beetroot out of the can is freakin horrible. I think its best if you do a sour pickle with it, gives it a nice crunch and removes the slimey texture. but it's also nice just oven roasted.

Is it expensive over there?

At the bar it was roughly the same price as normal beer.

Would have to check the super market but it's probably the same price as good beer. I would expect it to cost $12 to $15 NZD a six pack which is what cheap craft beers and "good" beers cost.

Cheap beer is anything in a can (excludes imports) , average beer is our equivalents of bud, good beer is stronger, imported beers, cheap craft beer, and expensive beer is your hipster beer, craft beers and some imported stuff. I normally buy whatever's good on special where it's about $10 to $12 a six pack or $1.25 USD a bottle roughly.

In a bar you can often get jugs which is a litre but hipster bars you can't or a 1.8 litre glass jug of craft beer. On tap a lot of craft beers are only an extra dollar than the normal beers so I buy them.

Stella Artois is expensive here about $24 a dozen. Used to be good but that was more like 10 or 15 years ago. A 24 pack of meh beer is probably in the 30 to 35 ($20ish USD)range.

Developed a taste for IPAs last year at a wake.
I was after an IPA or APA but this brand I like better than the IPA from the other brand.

Small supermarket, Friday night, the IPAs/APA were sold out.
 
don't care too much for IPA, too hoppy for me. some are good.

nowadays I mostly drink lagers and macrobrews, because I don't drink much beer anymore.

I would love to fit in with the working class peeps at our local Kiosk, called "trinkhalle" (drinking hall) but they keep eyeing me weird like I'm some kind of burgeious alien and I feel kinda uninvited.

then again if I drink a beer or two every time I came home I'd be even more fat than now so maybe it's better this way huh

I can see why, you're too well-dressed ;)
My gf recently referred to me as "the worst dresser, but at least you know it" so I can appear quite non-bougie.
 
I adapt my clothes to expected social group. My default is scruffy.

Not dressing up to go to a working man bar, not going to go to a nice bar in stained jeans, workboots and plaid shirt.

yeah, i think you're right on the money. I mean some days I look like a hobo, but still a well-dressed and self conscious hobo :lol:
 
I was doing that for a couple of years. "Bag Lady Chic" according to the Cyberpunk 2020 manual. Right on time fellas.
 
I'm a sucker for a nice stout. It's my go-to beer. Guinness is fine but it's a little flat I prefer something with a little more fizz to it. But I'm not that picky.

This oat stout from Nøgne Ø is so delicious.



Unfortunately I haven't seen it sold in a while in my local shops.
 
Don't really like Guinness, too low of an alcohol % and I just don't like the texture
 
Any anybody in my vicinity starts selling a liquorice stout (apparently it's a thing) then it's only a matter of time before I become an alcoholic.
