Aah, you're getting me all nostalgic, Futtocks - used it a time or two and still have the rectal scarring to prove it! Izal made a disinfectant fluid too, which no doubt inspired this nursery rhyme parody in Verse and Worse, a Faber Editions' collection of humorous poetry: "Ding, dong bell, Pussie's in the well, but now we've put some Izal down, and never mind the smell!"

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon 948 Report post Posted March 17 8 minutes ago, Wiltshire Rhino said: Yes, but only because you called it by its proper name. There is no such thing as pear (or any other fruit mix) cider. Cider is apple! At one time, WR, I would have completely agreed with you. However, you and I both know that proper perry is made with special pears, not suitable for anything else, and, in this country, grown in a fairly small area concentrated on the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border, around towns such as Ledbury. So the problem then is what to call the utter p*ss made from concentrated culinary or dessert pear juice. Reluctantly, I can see a case for calling it pear cider, if only to ensure the good name of 'perry' is not sullied. Like you, I hate the growing trend for calling cider in this country 'apple cider', which is an American importation. You are absolutely right; just 'cider' means it is made from apples, or should do. The irony is that we have imported the 'wrong' phrase, as, if I have got this right, 'apple cider' in the USA tends to mean a non-alcoholic drink, whereas the proper stuff is called 'hard cider'. Is it the same in Canada? Could any local TWP fans confirm or correct this? The French cider/perry-making area in Normandy and Brittany also uses commendably simple terms - 'cidre' and 'poire'. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
