I find Edam though only given a 1 strength/taste rating to be quite tasty and stronger than a mere 1! Lancashire, although the official cheese of the county of my birth is pretty bland to me, meaning I very rarely eat the stuff, though my mutt does like it.🧐

Er, no it's a gold T-bar with a link, for a watch chain. 🧐

I bought this bottle of Advocaat the Christmas before last. I've kept it on a work surface in my south facing kitchen since I bought it. Last night I fancied a glass of it, but when I shook the bottle I noticed it had curdled on the bottom, I shook it again, but the bottom bit didn't mix together. I can't find a best before date on the bottle and with it being alcohol I thought that would've preserved the contents, even if it is like custard with added vodka. My question is, even though it's curdled at the bottom will it be safe to drink? I suppose I should've kept it in a cool place out of direct sunlight and maybe not kept it this long, but I thought that if I didn't open it, it would last for a few years before 'going off'.🤔
Maybe I could drink the stuff, then when it gets near to the bottom just bin it to avoid the curdled bit? 🤔

@Accy cyclist don't drink it, it went off.
The eggs!
Bet it tastes vile anyway, should you want to drink it.

I've just found 'Once opened keep refrigerated and consume within 6 months' in small print on the bottle, but I haven't opened it yet so...@Accy cyclist don't drink it, it went off.

I also found this number.
L1252108124.
Is that a best before date I wonder? Anyway, tonight I'm going to open it and have a taste. If it tastes ok I'll drink it. If not, I'll bin it. 🧐

With me it's the left hand that tends to go numb - I put it down to the right getting more movement with gear changing and braking, plus possibly a watch being worn on the left wrist.

There are some wrong 'un's out there whilst Ming might be correct in his assumption, I doubt Accy would be so perverted to get indulge in such practices .
Mind you Ming may well be merciless in such ways.
I suggest you drink 3/4 of it in one sitting. If you are ok next day then you can finish the rest.
No need to thank me🙂

I opened it and had a sip. When I opened it some kind of dust came out the bottle. It smelt a bit musty.
The advocaat tasted ok, but a bit earthy. Yes, I could still drink (or eat as it's that thick) it, but there wouldn't be any pleasure in it!🧐

There never has been, it seems to have arisen from some weird 60's Christmas ritual
Weird isn't it. My mother hardly ever drank but I recall her sipping one of these around Christmas time. That would be mid 60s. Looked vile to me.

I tried it a few years ago just to see what it was like. I did like it, and I do like custard, but it did get rather sickly after half a pint

Wasn't there an advert for a specific make of it which did the rounds each year?
Yes.... it will come to me.
