Palinka

Was msn'ing with a friend telling him that I planned to visit my Romanian neighbours. He told me not to ask for "Kalinka". That's like showing a bull a red blanket. But first I was all innocent and said "I've been there gazillions of time and they never offered me this". Then I went to the neighbours and told them of their reputation while they promptly hauled the bottle out from nowhere saying "you really want to try?". What could I say? Other than it's called Palinka and not Kalinka and it tastes like...strong. 65% strong. I think I might be a tad drunk...
