Well,.. borrrring and is rarely mentioned on this section of the Campfire. so let me tell ya about a GREAT time I had with some homedistiller friends at a get together we had at a pards home in Morgantown, WV a week ago. About 30 folks were in attendance from all over the map with guys and their wives from Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, California, Georgia and a hilarious husband and wife that flew in from Australia. Those folks from down under are a riot !!!! Unfortunately he wasn't able to get his spirits out of the country but did bring some Bundaberg Rum AKA "Bundy". Pretty good stuff. Single malts, bourbons, rye whiskeys as well some mighty fine 'shine was proudly displayed and drank but for the second year in a row Hangarnian Palinka stole the show. DAMN that stuff is good. http://goeasteurope.about.com/od/hungary/a/Hungarian-Palinka.htmI had planned on making some but the Black Walnut trees in our area aren't producing this year. This is also known as Nocino and can be made at home easily but is much more rewarding when made from a neutral spirit of your own creation. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/nocinoI brought a half a gallon of my version of a 110 proof honey/nutmeg apple pie moonshine and not a drop remained at the end of the festivities. Did I mention the brined pork butts and the BEST potato salad that I have ever tasted courtesy of our fantastic hostess. A great time was had by all.

Bundy, AKA "square bear" ! Great stuff but tasted very new which fit in very well with the whole "moonshine" theme of our get together. ![[Linked Image]](https://s3.postimg.org/ljtcp32mr/BUNDY.jpg) upload a picture

I prefer a Propel or diet coke while eating Coke classic for me as I can't stand alcohol with my meals. Don't drink much of it either. Just like making booze. Betcha I haven't consumed 12 ounces of hard likker in the 2 years.

Might'nt you get the hostess lass to spill on the tater salad recipe? Ha !!!! Tried that and it was like talking to a bank vault. She's an administrator @ WVU as well as being an RN but foremost she's a tough old West Virginia gal with bark a foot thick. Always has a RUGER® LC9s in her pocket as well as one in her purse and a 1911 on her kitchen counter. Soooo waaayy beyond classified information, Greg.

Given the security surrounding the tater salad recipe, I respectfully rescind my request.
