Re: occasionally being sampled when there's nothing left in the house.
My worst recollections are:
- A Swiss drink called Enzian (gentian). Maybe I was sold a bottle of antiseptic - it certainly tasted like it.
- An apéritif called Suze. Used to be advertised on the side of French barns, and tasted like it might have been produced by the occupants thereof. Guaranteed to remove your appetite.
- Parfait Amour, a purple liqueur of such cloying sweetness that I swear you could feel it eating its way round your fillings.
