It is a strong cider beer (made from apples), reputed by some to have aphrodisiacal properties, but by others to have a laxative and purgative effect when drunk in quantity. More rightly famous in the county of Somerset, but devotees in Cornwall claim it as their own. Hic ....Originally Posted by TheGingerJar

we still have cider houses in somerset...... which is a "pub" that only sells cider.... our local one still had sawdust on the floor until about 8 years ago... and cider houses are reputed to be very "rough" places where women use to be banned even "certain" women
A glass of scrumpy is so strong it would render you incapable of doing anything LOL!

From the sound of it, i vote thumbs up on the scrumpy! Do people ever simmer faggots in it? MMMM i'm currently losing weight and hungry. Is this the best time of year for scrumpy? Maybe in a few months?
Crazymama says leave the forums as they are. We will all benefit. By communication with one another. Yeah team pass the cider beer.
It's not just the words that confuse. I remember visiting our offices in Louisiana, back when I was a wage slave, and everybody being astounded when I wanted a cup of tea. *Hot* tea, not iced. They knew what I meant, they just couldn't understand why I'd want it. And after scouring all the kitchens and cupboards were unable to produce such a thing...
I had started my request with "I don't suppose...", and I was right.
Mind you, I still maintain I'm the only Brit in the world who actually likes grits!
Brits and their grits; a gritty Brit; two part hominy....ok that's all for now.
Somebody mention Scrumpy - I'm in.
