Dave: I don't know whether you can make "Jaegermeister" at home, but I do know that the Germans i have come to know in Germany, all make their own schnapps from the trees they have in their gardens. My father in law, when he died in 1994, had about 75 bottles in his keller made from Mirabellen and Zwetschen. Our close fiends over there always give us a litre to bring back to Canada every year. A shot now and then is sure good for what ails you. I go along with the old German lied that says, "Schnapps is gut fuer die Cholera". Hey Chris, when I took my training out in Regina, we always thought Prarie Oysters were a raw eggs at the bottom of a glass of beer. A that good old Saskachewan beer back then. I needed something to perk it up. Ralf > > >> Mark: Jägermeister is a liqueur, very strong, like hyper-gin. It's a >> "Schnapps" and a great after-dinner shot !!

: -) Well, could it be that there was a bit of similarity in the way they went down. OR is it that at the end of the branding day and a few Sask brews later you just need something to fill the stomach? : -) All I know is when everyone went out to brand the calves and make steers they referred to the left over parts as prairie oysters. Now I think it was standard for all the guys to try it at least once. Beats me Why though. : -) Chris, Calgary, Ab > > Hey Chris, when I took my training out in Regina, we always thought Prarie > Oysters were a raw eggs at the bottom of a glass of beer. >
