If you drink mead, is it primarily because you want to live in days of yore?

I bought some and I’m not sure if it’s because I like it or because I have an inner suppressed wench.

It’s nice but also kind of funky.

I prefer fruit mead wine. It brings back memories of my last night in Cornwall before I left home... I went to the local leaders and got really drunk with my boyfriend! :-)

@Entrant6

They were approached at a festival as they'd made their own costumes and things took off from there! It's a complete contrast to their other work.

Love the mead, loving the mood lighting behind even more. Does it come in 16 million colours because if it did I might get quite excited WinkWinkWink

You know you are a wench already, married to a great yeoman just give in to it and drink more mead. (Do wenches marry yeomen?)

I don't suppose drinking mead is anymore wanting to be in days of yore than drinking gin. That would make you want to be in Hogarthian London, in Gin Lane. Gin was the opium of the masses in the 1700s.

I like Madeira from Sercial to Malmsey, and love Ginger wine, but Stones only.

Same!

I had 'Indulgence of the Raven Lord' for my meal.

My DH loves mead, it is his go-to alcoholic drink. He tried it because of Skyrim and loved it. He does have a very sweet tooth.

I like it occasionally but I prefer slightly drier leads, or melomels. I had a lovely bottle of a berry mead from the Kinsale Mead Co over the summer. DH hated it because he said it tasted like wine. He goes for Moniack or Lancester mead, which are very sweet.
