    Quick Note: chow at Sunday Cajun Brunch

    "Who knows the name of that German herbal concoction in a tiny green bottle taken as an antidote to overeating?" Stonsdorfer? The digestif of choice in my nabe is Fernet-Branca, though.

    Underberg bitters

    Oddly enough, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them in Kalustyan’s – across from the cash registers, on the shelves above the dried fruit. I just drink Underberg as a digestif, over ice, like I would Fernet-Branca...

    UNICUM? other Hungarian liquor?

    “A little is medicine, a lot is poison,” as the Hungarians say except that they say it in Hungarian. I love the stuff and have looked for it in bars for years. Never found it. I was hoping after the Fernet Branca craze...

    international drinks?

    Amare (sp?) (Italian bitters)

    Astor Liquors has a decent selection of digestives. Amaro Lucano is a good one. Ramazotti, another well known. Fernet Branca is probably the “next level” of bitters and no where near as smooth as the other...

    Does anyone like Grappa?

    I’ve developed a taste for grappa over the years, but I still cannot fathom the mystery of Fernet-Branca, a digestif Italian friends have served me more times than I care to remember. Does anyone out there like this stuff...
