Battery makes it fizzy and apparently makes the alcohol thing work better. Batteries are easy to find. Just remove one from a parked car. Why would one want a brief respite from starvation by eating a sheep's head when you can stay comatose for a week instead?

On a chilly day try this: take a lowball and fill one or two cm of Gaoliang topped with five cm very hot water. Warms you right up.

Grouse. No question. Although if you're able to stomach Jim Beam, there's no reason why you shouldn't go all the way cheap and just drink paint thinner.

Car battery and a sheep's head in the bottom. Add water. potato peels, second hand corn cobs, animal offal and bones. That shit rocks. Gives you a real buzz. Question, what's the car battery for? Besides, if they're that...

That's a decent one. Price was right if I recall too....if I could recall. If you just want "alcohol", most local grociery stores, Wellcome, etc have basic vodka and rum at about 200 NT for a 700 ml bottle. The vodka sucks but works....

Ah yes, the carrots... another veg where the equivalents become amusing. Those recipes that require 7-8 carrots? Not here, they don't! I do wish recipes with weights became standard. I was grateful to find this one recipe that gave a tablespoon equivalent for shallots, because until now I've had no idea how much to use. Thanks for the help.
