Has anyone seen Ginger Beer in any of the supermarkets , have tried Ilelli,Starling & Lemar but no joy !!!!
Thanks

Went into Ilelli on sat and they had cans of ginger beer in the beer fridge.

Wıth respect I pıcked up some cans...Brıtvıc Gınger Ale !!!!Delıcıous ın brandy

I can absolutely confirm what bornunderabadsign says. Idris Fiery Ginger Beer in a bright red can in the 2nd fridge cabinet from the left among the beers.

Same logic Keith that puts sweeteners with the sweets.

But then I guess that if locals do not use such stuff they may well have trouble deciding where to put it! I think they are brilliant the way they cater for ex-pats.

....and where would a Cypriot do with 'sweetbread'???

... & Ileli keep the Cleaning Alcohol (Saf Alkol) on the central island, between the tills, bottom shelf, next to the Raki

Oh dear - and I thought the 'saf' meant safe (for drinking). That might explain a few things!

lol

If you have time, try making your own - there are lots of easy recipes available on-line.

Far better quality, for a fraction of the price (though a cold can of Idris is wonderful).

Great stuff , obviously missed it ;0)

Slightly off topic, but following Keith's logical mind... I remember Haber at Bells telling me that the Authorities had told him he needs a meat licence to import Mincemeat. He had to go to the minister personally as the deputy was blocking the import. So as not to lose face, the deputy insisted that Haber should get the manufacturers of the product to change its name!!

Ah yes - I remember it well...

Well - I found it, and I'm just going to try friend Mike's recommendation, - the sun is over the yardarm, isn't it?

< hic! >

Isn't the sun always over the yard arm for some?

I'm just one of those lucky, lucky people...
