I think the first time I had shrub was at a talk by Angela Clutton at the Abergavenny food festival. More recently in Taiwan I discovered that drinking vinegar is very very popular and I absolutely loved it. It's sour but also balanced by sweet. Drank loads of it. Wish we could buy it as easily here! In Taiwan it was sold by most convenience stores.
What a brilliant newsletter, thank you. I love Acid Trip and Angela's book especially - and thank you for the mention. I'd very much like to visit the Plague Stone. I'll give you warning to get the kettle on if I do. Merry Christmas x
My grandmother, born in the Southern US in 1897, told of a tonic of "vinegar and nails" where rusty iron nails were soaked in vinegar for several days and later strained to drink for an "iron tonic when feeling poorly." She used to tell me she was going to make me a "tonic" when I wanted to stay home from school. Needless to say, I got well quickly.
