Banhoubain, cask strengh; that's whisky! strangely, my whisky sales have plummeted in the last 5 years; must be a taste, linked to "brown" furniture!
More seriously, Karen hit an interesting point, I have no doubt, that hormones play a huge part in taste. I am not much interested in he stronger flavoured meats, any more, chicken will do me, most of the time; there was a time, when I thought it bland and boring. Venison, hare, wild duck, pigeon were my ideas of gastronomic heaven; now they do not excite me. Bring on the shell fish and chicken. Crossing the gender divide is an incredible experience; only then can you gain an insight into the miriad differences between men and women.
