Well, we have fruit-flavored beer, but that is just a woman's drink 🙂
We have some other type of alcohol, called "jenever" (no idea what the English translation is) and that type of drink can have many flavours. And yes, there is a chocolate flavored one 🙂
(and for the Pulp Fiction fans, yes, we eat our french fries with mayonnaise)

Apparently it's known as Holland Gin or Dutch Gin in English...can't say I've ever heard of it, though!

Ah. I always thought it was something with Gin. It's a very nice drink. You have gins based on grains, which can have an alcohol degree about 30-40%, and you have those based on fruits which are around 20%. Lately there is a trend to brew gins based on 'creams', such as chocolate, baileys, amaretto et cetera or on other exotic stuff, such as flowers and cactus. All very nice 🙂 (there are also gins based on garlic or pepper. Less nice)
Those drinks are usually associated with the holiday season. In other words: now. Woot woot!

Hmmmm, methinks it's time for a new "Where Are You" discussion topic! 🙂
With the New Year, how about . . . hmmm, let's see . . . how is the New Year celebrated where you live?
Go! :discuss:

The 'where are you' question was pretty much universal.
You cannot say the same for 'how is the New Year celebrated where you live' because in a large part of the world it is not 'celebrated' at all.
Here is a more 'universal' question: are you above 40 years old?
Or if you want to really get down to it: how old are you? which even rhymes with 'where are you'.
So you can kill two birds with one stone and, in my case, say: I live near Milan and I'm in my late 50s - hhmmm.
Oh yes, at 12 midnight we popped a bottle of Ferrari champagne!

Just turned 50. Midwest US (Chicago). Love the change of seasons, 50-ish on Friday, 20s yesterday. Things like that happen quite frequently....

LOL! Point taken!
Okay, so what if we precede it with "if you celebrate the New Year," or change it to "how do you commemorate the New Year" or something like that?
