I think the definition of brandy is any fermented fruit or vegetable but it’s usually grapes or pears

However, in Newcastle if you pour enough meths on a fruit or vegetable and shake it for 5 mins it’s called brandy

Just a note, BTW. I found that with the mod running, every so often the game will just stop and eject you out to your desktop. However, as annoying as this is, if you load up again and select 'continue' you will return to exactly the point you were at when it, for want of a better word, crashed.

Odd (and unfortunate), but good to know.  Appreciate the heads-up! 




That’s the pumpkin brandy
There's pumpkin brandy?  :o

That sounds absolutely vile.  :sick:

The old, Italian recipe I’ve seen passed down calls for a pumpkin, sugar and paraffin wax. Oh, yes—it’s primitive. Cut the top off a large pumpkin as if you were making a jack-o’-lantern. Then fill the inside of the pumpkin with sugar. Use about 1 pound of sugar for each 4 lbs. of pumpkin. Then just put the lid back on and seal it in place with the wax. Keep the pumpkin in a cool, dark place (like the basement) for a few weeks, until the pumpkin has swollen and the wax shows signs of cracking. Be sure to check it often, because it can explode if left alone for too long. High temperatures can cause an explosion too. When it’s done, the liquid should be an amber color, strong and slightly sweet. Carefully open the lid and strain out the wine.

Sounds posher than the geordie version - pour turps on some apples, set on fire, stamp out preferably with wellies on and pour the mix into a cocktail glass - umbrella and a cherry

Absolute rubbish! We stop using wellies years ago. We use coal miners pit boots.

I played a game this morning for a couple of hours (with the mod) and it never crashed on me. Also, I forgot how good the AI was at kicking my butt.  :-[
