Proof even my taste in alchohol's is strange...

[wolfwings]

...I never realized how strange most find my preferred 'alchoholic' drink of choice, and figured I'd both share it, and ask others what wierd mixed drinks or combinations of food they enjoy and were surprised others found wierd?

Mine? A tot of 2 or 3 parts plain Vodka, 1 part balsamic vinegar, served neat, meaning room-temperature.

It can take some hunting for just the right pair of vinegar and vodka, but the desired result is a bone-deep warmth just above the back of the throat almost immediately, no bitterness left from the balsamic. I'll admit the description is likely very poor by actual drinker's or connoisseur's standards, as I don't partake enough to appreciate or know the lingo myself very well.

A fancier version is known as the balsamic vinegar martini but I'm generally not willing to go through that much trouble just to make myself a quick drink.

Weird food combination? A slice of pastrami, trimmed narrow, with cream cheese spread on it, then rolled around a baby dill pickle (so that the width of the pastrami slice is the width of the pickle). It's an hors d'oeuvres that my mom makes for holiday parties. I really really like it, people look at me funny when I make it. It's salty and has a great combination of textures.

...Man, I'm hungry for it now.

That doesn't sound weird to me. :D

My favorite appatizer is Water Chestnuts with bacon wrapped around it, dipped in BBQ sauce and then cooked in the oven till the bacon is done. Mmmm....

I don't normally like water chestnuts...

...but like that they sound tasty. =^.^=

I may have to try that...

...sounds like it'll break up the complaint I usually have with dill pickles nicely with the added flavors.

Try Frangelico.
Let me know what you think.

It's not right that stuff is so expensive.. but SO damn good.. I drink it straight whenever I can.

Ngahaha. I'm a Chambord addict myself. Shot of that stuff over ice and I'm set.
