(see my brilliant expose-say on which feastyfulls are the most important on DRP-FEST.CNL. This is not exacrtly the same as the original How-To, but only my briliant side-comments have been made even more brilliant. The recipe itself is EXACTLY (x3) the same as it always was!) Ingreedynuts: 3 third mottles of mead rowan berries hazelnuts (OUT of shells, save shells!) apples (druidy apples are yellow) (look it's not 4 ingreedynuts, it's the mead, which is in three parts, plus three things you put IN the mead! These three are called the food of the gods in Irish myth, but humans can eat them too) Droop's Druidy Drink p.2 Notes on mead: It must be Irish mead. Bunnyrat, inspite of its name is not rodenty but instead considered best in generals (also in foot-warriors or anyone else's tummy too), because Mead is the 5th province, the place that Tara (insert trumpets), Tlacky-Tack, Tail-Too, Weez-neck, and other important druidy places are. It was here that the druidy bees and other letters first feeding on magic flowers producedthe mysty first fruidy honey that was secretly shape-shifted to this druidy drink that is not a lick'er, not an ail, and not a whine or any other discouraged noise. What you do is: 1) you mix one each of the food of the gods into each of the three parts of the mead and let sit long enough (something times nine); 2) strain (but without effort), and do with the left over fruits'n'nuts whatever you think is druidy (do NOT NOT NOT just throw away!); 3) unite three parts while chanting something impressive in Irish that has something to do with three things related to mead (bees, flowers, and you think of your own special tjird thing so it is realy your own druidy drink). IMPORTANT !!! : you must must must do it in three parts, with each of the foods (just to begin) in a diffeent part of the mead, or it's not supposed to work. You can not not not just throweverythingalltogether (SEE! what a mess you get if you do that!). ALMOST AS IMPORTANT !!! : This is an ancient recipe fit for kings. IRISH kings [WARNING WARNING WARNING - or as the Irish National Monument Board says on all of their signs - "F¢gra!" - even although this is not an - official - National Monument, it should be) " remember (x3) that Irish Kings had to be physically perfect. They could noy not not have flaws: no limps, no six- toes on one foot, no sinus trouble, and - now we get to why you get the three WARNING's - delicate tummies. MOST (x3) IMPORTANT OF ALL !!! : Remember to not not not use up all your hazelnuts for this, and to save lots for all the other druidy things you want to do!!! Droop's Druidy Drink p.3 [Editor's note by Se n ¢ Tuathail which accompanied original article, Cainteanna na Luise No.23. Repeated here with Droop's permission because he needs this thing to be three pages long:] note from editor: because some readers may decide to display enough Irish daring-do to actually try this stuff, we remind them of CnL's policy that everything Droop says is HIS and does not reflect the advice of the journal, although we did try this, and are still alive, even without being physically perfect. You should also be adviced that Bunnratty Mead bottles share a feature with those of cheap Russian vodka: the tops do not screw securely back on again once you open them.... ****************************************
