If you blow up the picture on the right,it gives you the ingredients--the amounts and the still and how much it will make.I also said any fruit or vegetable can be used to ferment that's how you can get the variety of alcoholic drinks.The first item you will need is a still.Good luck-----Most people that make this, make their own "still".

Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]

For Indian food, it's a must to visit the Buddha restaurant in warsaw, I was staying in Sheraton hotel during my holidays and was wondering where to have some good Indian food and was just walking along Nowyswiat street, and saw this restaurant "Buddha" I walked in and was surprised to see the beautiful decor. A beautiful black hair lady was there to greet me with a very warm welcome .I was asked my preference of seating with smoking options.I selected some veggie starters, and main course, all were fantastic, great taste and good value for the money.

Distillation is not that difficult. You can do it very safely using refrigeration, relying on the fact that alcohol freezes at a much lower temperature than water. Freeze distillation also retains much more of the fermentation characteristics of the original drink than fractional distillation. It's just illegal, so don't talk indiscriminately about it. It's difficult to produce anything stronger than 25 or 30% alcohol using freeze distillation, but it's a favorite method because it requires less aging and retains many of the flavor components that are lost in fractional distilling

Distillation can be done fairly easily with a pressure cooker and some copper tubing (running off the cooker and through an ice bath). the product that comes out is raw and needs to be aged a few months or a few years, to develop some complexity. Age it in good wood to add that complexity. You can buy seasoned casks from wineries and distilleries without too much problem.

I know that this restaurant was badly criticized by on of the posters but if you like Indian food the Tandoor Palace is a very popular Indian restaurant . A lot of food critics and locals claim it offers the finest Indian cuisine, we advise you to try and find out for yourselves and we doubt you’ll be disappointed!. It’s a very accommodating restaurant, but large all male groups should make suitable reservations. The restaurant is also known for its regular comedy evenings, stand ups and great entertainers, which will be a bonus to your Warsaw breaks.

I have tried some of the Mexican restaurants in Warsaw and I can assure you Tortilla Factory is the closest thing to Authentic Mexican food. I lived in Arizona and California for part of my life and have made countless trips to Mexico. I consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican food from both above and below the border. Tortilla factory definitely gets two thumbs up. I think the key is the freshly made tortillas made in-house. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to the other Mexi-joints in Warsaw. It is also a very popular place for locals and expats to mingle and get warmed up before hitting the town

Food / OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT? [43]

Yeah--at 8.5% alcohol Black Boss better be good.!!!It's a Bottom-fermented Porter.
Very dark brown with a dense, mid-tan head; dates, liquorice, clove. toffee, chocolate and roast aroma; very sweet taste with cream. liquorice, dates and chocolate aromas; bitter finish with burnt, liquorice, black chocolate and coffee aromas.

Bags of dark malt and fruit, a fair bit of sweetness, finished off with enough burnt bitterness to justify the Porter monnicker. Very nice indeed. And for you style fascists - this is definitely a Porter and not some type of Doppelbock, as some of you may claim. (I'm playing the "emotional recognition" card .) If given this blind and asked if it was a strong Porter I would say yes. That's as much of a style definition as I need. What's it based on? Nothing but my own personal drinking experiences.

Food / Where can you buy a crockpot aka slow cooker, in Krakow? [38]

Opening the front door on a cold winter evening and being greeted by the inviting smells of beef stew or chicken noodle soup wafting from a slow cooker can be a diner's dream come true. But winter is not the only time a slow cooker is useful. In the summer, using this small electrical appliance can avoid introducing heat from a hot oven. At any time of year, a slow cooker can make life a little more convenient because by planning ahead, you save time later. And it takes less electricity to use a slow cooker rather than an oven.

Food / Do you still pressure-cooker to cook? [10]

Basically,they both do the same job except a person using a slow cooker has to be extremely organized. Meals have to be prepared in the morning before leaving for work, so the meals are cooked by the time they get home in the evening. Pressure cookers, on the other hand, can cook meals in minutes rather than hours allowing you to quickly prepare a meal in the evening after getting home from work. Unlike a slow cooker, there is no need to rush to prepare the evening meal before running out the door in the morning.

A pressure cooker can cook the same types of delicious recipes that a slow cooker can and so much more, but cook them substantially faster.

Food / Polish culinary dislikes [83]

Calf's headis is a delicacy in France. A British relative living in France raved about it so I ordered it in a restaurant. I was green until the waiter took it away. Basically, the fleshy bits of a calf's head, cooked for a long time and cut into squares, each consisting of a few strings of slimy meat and a 1cm thick layer of fat/gelatinous glop. The brain is served in the corner of the plate.yum-yum!!!!

Food / Polish culinary dislikes [83]

Try some bull testicles. Also called Prairie Oysters in Canada (Alberta). It is called "criadillas" in Spain but has different names in other Latin countries. The criadillas are the testicles of the pig. They are sliced first and then cooked with garlic and parsley, better if they are barbecued. If you don't know what you are eating, the taste is intense but in a nice and pleasant way.

Travel / Are there any African or Carribean restaurants in Warsaw? [15]

Closer to home, we buy cow's foot in a butcher shop, chop it up and cook it for hours & hours in water with spices, garlic, salt, pepper, etc. It is a good idea to evacuate the house during cooking time to avoid the overwhelming smell. Then pour this mess into a large flat pan and refrigerate. It sets to a nice translucent grey jelly with a layer of fat on top. Cut into large cubes and serve with lots of horseradish to kill the taste and lots of vinager.
