cas,
Decadence is the way of the fu(few)ture. Them as knows, knows best, as my subconcious used to tell me! Regarding the painting I waffled about before, a friend had a very cheap print in the hallway of a rented house, it was (possibly) a lady of ill repute necking a large glass of the stuff in a french watering hole. I loved it! And the Absinthe I have now does the whole cloudy thing like Pernod(yes Pastis is the proper name, but Monsieur Pernod created it to fill the gap when absinthe was banned). Has anyone ever had more than one or two in an evening, cos I don't know if the wormwood in the modern ones is up to the stregnth of the old stuff, and likely to send ya loopy fruit like!! If you have had fun on it let me know. TaFrancesFelixe said:Absinthe? Isn't that supposed to make the heart grow fonder?!Happy Birthday, you decadent creature.

If it's the one of the sad looking woman in a cream dress, sitting behind a table next to a bearded man, then it was Degas.Seaweed said:Also was it Matisse who painted the picture "The absinthe drinker", if not who be the artist? Ta!!
Nah mateTHAT is evil mouthwash, it takes the skin from your mouth (and stomach). The stuff I have (not touched it since my B-day) is much smoother. If ya want a first time snifter, go to TESCO and get a bottle of Sebor stuff, nice and dark colour, smooth taste and considerably less alchohol than most, at only 50%. Also it is under thirty quid, so better all round I'd say! Take care all you children of the greenOriginally posted by kiel
If your after a good first timers bottle i'd go for STAROPLZENECKY.
Nice flavour and the bottle looks stunning.
