First and hopefully last in the series OH MY GOD...ALIEN BABIES!! (See the big picture)
O.K., so they are not alien babies, they are just pictures of hey that one just moved! pictures of whiskey bodies, I mean bottles. You never know what you might run into wandering around the Namdaemon Market in Seoul. I am told that this is ginger whiskey.
Has anyone tried this? Inquiring minds want to know.
WAAH!

That's not ginger, it's ginseng roots. The ginseng is usually steamed and dried, and looks like little sticks, but when it's placed in liquor the original carroty shape returns. The little reddish oblong pellets in the bottom row of jars are red jujube dates, to take some of the edge off the ginseng. The uppermost right jar has some kind of leafy herb in it. Korean ginseng is very powerful and very "hot" or "yang," and the dates are cooling and add a sweet flavor. I make this stuff myself with more herbs and charge a good amount for it. Very cool picture.
