    I've just had an empenada, washed down with some Peruvian Inca Kola.

    Inca Kola's got some of the flavour notes of Irn-Bru, but not the subtle bitterness that Irn-Bru has, from the quinine in its ingredients.

    Interestingly, apparently some people can't really taste quinine, which makes me wonder at yours, inteliboy's, and my disliked-employee ages ago's reaction to Irn-Bru as just being 'bubble gum soda'. I mean, it does have that taste, but not JUST that taste.

    The place I bought the Kola and Empenada from also sell Sobrasada, so as it's my birthday I treated myself to some of that too :)

    • @palimpsest - unless you can get sugar free, don't bother. Instead, go to the Vinoteka wine bar, Tržiště 17, and treat yourself to an Aperol Spritz.Nairn
