, and countless others, no doubt. But, as Davydd points out, most of those beers were interchangeable with each other and with the leading brands – light, watery, skunky pilners. So, consolidation didn’t really hurt...

My experience has been that it depends entirely on location. I’ve had excellent burgers/service in one 5G but sloppy, skunky meat at another.

There are a lot of additional flavor compounds in the mint family plants, and if I had the right training I could tell you their names, but they have skunky or turpentiney flavors and odors. That may be what you are tasting. I...

-Jouet, Fleur de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs 1999 – VERY GOOD minus, verging on overripe, low on acidity, flaccid, dumb? Perrier-Jouet Fleur de Champagne, Rosé 1999 – GOOD plus, skunky, bitter aftertaste Dom Perignon...

do it once, but that’s all you need to press all the juice out. Also, the beef is occasionally "skunky." -Greasy fries. Instead of frying them twice (Belgian frite style) they’re tossed in once then dumped in the heat...

and have more residual value to the packaging industry. Cans don’t let any light through; no skunky canned beer. In Minnesota, our wonderful dog days are over, the sunlight is gone, a cold snap ha, there was snow in the air...

in white wine every so often. It makes my husband mad when I say that or refuse to drink it without saying it because he KNOWS I am thinking it is skunky. We do not argue a lot, but my nose causes acrimony.

Nachos, quesadillas, cemitas, tortas, carnitas mostly. Really delicious high-fat foods, so it’s a shame when that fat comes out tasting rancid. It’s a taste that also extends to their chorizo, though I’m not...

I had a bottle of Kirin Special Premium Reserve (made by A-B in CA?) the other day at a Japanese restaurant and really enjoyed it. Crisp, clean malt base with substantial hop flavor/aroma – may have been a little skunky -...

of a safety net. It didn’t taste lightstruck or "skunky", just very soy like. I can’t vouch for the age of the Morimoto, because I had it at a friend’s place. Since it is meant to compliment asian food though, I...

wow. This place was awful. I actually vomited in their bathroom. :( Not sure if it was the skunky Merlot I had or the shrimp wrapped in philo. I think it was the shrimp because I had a bad feeling after the first bite.The place...

Cabbage turns into skunky paste in the crockpot. Just boil some salted water separately, poach the cabbage until tender, and serve with the corned beef. Carrots and potatoes would take maybe half an hour at most. Root vegetables...

No more than you’re using, generally, nutritional value is not really an issue. But seriously...STEP AWAY FROM THE BOTTLED LEMON JUICE. Nasty stuff. Skunky aftertaste. Get a reamer, and use fresh lemons. Not even a little...

I love brussel sprouts when they are sweet and good but how do you prevent them from getting skunky. That’s probably not the right word but you know what I mean. Is there a trick? Or is it the batch of brussel sprouts...

to get recent bottlings of local microbrews. Perhaps the problem with the Heineken can be blamed on their green glass, which does not protect the beer from light damage, which causes skunky flavors to develop in as little as a...
