Friend is having an exam in his bartending/cocktailmaking formation and came over. Im helping him study the written portion
Me: expands the historical portions on alcohol history to mention things like the Reinheitsgebot, traditional lager fermentation, the 18thC sugar boom & subsequent gastronomical evolutions, the influence of 1880 phylloxera for gin and absinthe and the most famous gin and absinthe murder cases, the impact of long-term transportation for alcohol demanded by imperialism and colonialism, historical importance of molasses and apple cider in american economy...
Friend: should i... take *you* to the exam?
Me: it's not my fault! you mentioned historical food! that's my thing!
