Who here has heard of Mead?
FH and I originally were doing Wine favors as well as CDs' with our favorite songs. As many know we are incorporating many celtic traditions into our ceremony and Reception. We are also have a part of our ceremony where we drink Mead as it is custom in Celtic times to do so. Well, we now have decided to have bottles of MEAD instead of WIne as one of our favors. Who here has heard of it?
Keep in mind, most wouldn't hear of it unless you have been to a Renaissance Faire at one time or another.
Here's the definition of Mead:
There are a lot of misconceptions about Mead. The first thing that comes to mind, if you even heard of it, is a bunch of Vikings drinking down lots of large mugs full of a macho drink. And well, nothing could be further from the truth. I don't mean that Viking warriors didn't drink their own version of mead. What I mean is that Mead is not some kind of a drink that is rough and tumble. Mead is an astonishingly delicious and delicate drink that will absolutely take you by surprise. So, what exactly is Mead? It is a wine made from honey. Simple as that. Instead of using grapes the mead maker uses Honey! Can you see how this would be something special? It is a wine and it is made from one of the tastiest creations in nature. (This concept of making wine from honey isn't unusual). Wine doesn't have to be made from grapes. It can be made from any number of sweet fruits.
With the info provided would you drink the Mead if given as a favor? I am afraid people won't drink it if they don't know what it is...
