I wish i was as virile as manly pthug who consumes spoiled foodstuffs regularly cause expiration dates are too mainstream for him. perhaps this was the first step in a personal journey of homemade
fermentation?
man, marrow wine sounds awful. does it have enough sugar in the first place ?

in other news, i bought maracuyá juice a month or so ago, and by now it has become all bubbly and full of alcohol. delicious delicious alcohol.
okay, i didn't actually drink the whole thing, i'm not that daring, but it still was nice to see the wonders of alcohol production in my own bedroom, and the half a glass or so i did drink was lovely.
