Sombrero's, as popular as they were way back when, are definitely out nowadays and only the educated few have caught on to the fact that playing a guitar is the quickest way to a woman's heart. When it comes to tequila as the drink of choice, this is almost true.
Introducing: Mezcal
Mezcal is a close second to Tequila when it comes to popularity and is the drink you are generally thinking of that has a worm inside the bottle. Made in Oaxaca from the Maguey plant, mezcal has a strong smokey flavour and is drunk straight without any salt or lemon. Its 38% alcohol content is certainly not the strongest alcohol around but is still a force to be reckoned with.
The Gov had received a few requests for souvenirs from the lads at her work and made the mistake of bringing back a few single-shot bottles of mezcal containing mini worms from Cancun. Not content with their minuscule rations the guys were soon begging for more like a bunch of modern day Oliver Twists. Not one to disappoint, the Gov commandeered a super sized bottle from yours truly. After convincing me that it was in the interests of science, I gave in under one condition.... "I want pictures of someone eating the worm!"
The worm of the hour.
It turns out that the scientific experiment is to see whether these certifiable people can survive a dance with the worm tomorrow night at a drinks evening.
Tune in tomorrow.
