This is what the very cute guy asked the lady next to me at the Renaissance Faire this August. I loved it but I think she was kind of offended. If he had asked me, I would have said loudly, “Mead Virgin! And do you think to deflower me, my lord?”
I’m going away from now until Sunday, so I just wanted to leave you guys with something. See you next week!
When the honeyed fluid starts flowing, all will be made plain. (And thank god for plain maids!)
Have fun and be safe, whatever you’re plans! 
:smack:
You get the idea. 
Oh, sure when I mean to submit, it takes a half hour…catch a spelling mistake and try to correct it in time… :rolleyes:
I wasn’t working at either the mead or ale stands this year, so I’ll have to confess ignorance over the mead slut/virgin idea.
Some friends of mine make their own mead, but I certainly wouldn’t think of them as sluts.
Ah well… Off to Dickens Fair now. No mead there to worry about.
Due to my SCA status, I receive a lot of gifts. Most consist of mead. Many MANY flavours of mead.
I’m still new to the stuff but plan on bringing the booty to my next household gathering. Hilarity and hangovers will ensue.
:winces:
Thanks for the thought, anyway!
I would have said whatever got me the mead fastest … but it’s my experience that proclaiming yourself a slut at Faire is a fantastic way to meet people.
Thank God for home brewing. One hundred cheap, legal gallons a year!
Mead, ale, lager, porter, I love it all!
Sounds like he was a mead pimp, actually…
Isn’t mead just another name for turpentine?
I’ve tasted mead about 3 times, so not quite a virgin., but I’ve only tasted it. Once it was so sweet it made my teeth hurt, another time it was a bit too strong of an alcohol flavor (yes, a little like turpentine) and another time it was juuuust right. But I have yet to have an entire glass (mug, flask, goblet?) of it for myself.
I was actually thinking of buying a bottler recently and try a little more than a taste but I have no clue on how to buy mead.
I say Robin Meade is not a virgin. 
No, you’re thinking of tequila.
I’m a mead virgin… I’ve never tasted it before in my life. (Does it really taste like turpentine? Bleeech!)
Ahh, what I wouldn’t give for a group of Slutty Mead Virgins…
…mmm…
(and once again, I totally misunderstood the title - seriously!)
It depends on how it gets made of course. I made a batch 3 years ago that became really nice after 2.5 years. Before that it was very alcoholic, very “fiery”. Remember Alcool? Something like that, but once mead mellows, it becomes very nice.
No, it doesn’t. Good mead tastes like wine with honey in it. Great mead tastes like liquid sunshine.
Small hijack,
Ethilrist, you wouldn’t happen to have any good home brew recipes for mead would you?
As far as I’m concerned mead is one of those really stupid ideas that turned out to be really nice. Wait, I swear that metaphor wasn’t there when I conceived that sentance.
