When the rhizomes are young, they can be safely eaten. They have a flavor and texture similar to asparagus. Its the flowers, or to be more specific, the alpha acids in the flowers that are toxic to some animals.

Double blacks are evil they just taste like soft drink but they are like two standard drinks.

On the americans drinking bud light-

I don't drink and I never will, but the newest crop of absolute idiocy that bud light has put out is absolutely retarded. It goes something like this-

"our crisp and clear beer DOESN'T HIDE some of the "DEFECTS" of other beer."

Yeah. Defects like flavor, substance, body, and what you drink beer for (other than getting drunk).

Stupid. And all the lights? Why not just drink everclear?

The Ice cold campaign was started by coors, local here in colorado, is also stupid.

It's not the "coldest beer". Heat is a vital part in any beers life, it isn't shipped cold, it probably shouldn't be drank ice cold.

Stupid, stupid stupid. The beer commercials alone account for half of america thinking that it's okay to be stupid. Idiocy. Stupid.

So how do you really feel?

Just putting this out there. American beer is like sex in a canoe lol, it's so close to water.

My favorite would have to be Corona, however the stuff we get over here in Australia says it's imported but it's actually brewed by Fosters over here, ripped off by the system again.
That said, I also like Peroni, Heineken, Stella Artois and a few Australia beers like Cascade and Coopers.

I dont drink much. I like Corona.

Anyone have a Red Wine Suggestion for a dinner with the Girlfriend? I bought some stuff that didnt taste like anything but alcohol. 14% I think. Was a bit to strong for my taste.

Charles Shaw? $2 At trader joe's! lol

Dan a good red should be around 12-13% proof. Ask for a recommendation in store or if you can get some Australian wine. Anything from the Barossa Valley or Koonawara is great wine. Rosemount, Nepenthe and Scarpentoni are all great Aussie labels. If you want to spend a bit of money European wine is always a winner.
