This may appeal to a few of you...

According to the Independent Just Rachel Quality Desserts are now offering a very nice "Fig, Honey and Absinthe" ice cream.


Hmmm. :)

giolla and ninshubur can probably explain this much better than I can, but in short...

In ye olde days absinthe contained lots of wormwood - which contains Thujone, which is mildly toxic to various organs (and supposedly helped the absinthe cause hallucinations, too).

I think the contents have changed a little bit now, though. Or at least I've not noticed any interesting hallucinations... :)
