Budapest

I have returned to the UK after a holiday in Budapest, with a gas mask and some unicum as souvenirs. So much to catch up on.

You will never need more than one bottle of Unicum. I brought a 1l bottle back from Hungary in 2003 (WWW conference), and even though I am a great fan of herbal bitters in general (and Underberg and Elixir Vegetal in particular), I still have three quarters of the bottle left.

Is it that awful? I suppose I should just try it and stop wondering about it.

Put it this way:

The drink was supposedly given its name by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor at an international exhibition; after tasting an offered sample, he proclaimed that it was "unique".
