There is a photo of Graham Thompson in one of Dr. Henderson's swell hat books, maybe Hat Talk, taken in what appears to be his shop showroom, with him wearing a fedora which has the "Depp or Alfonse" shaped brim.

I'm rather keen on cigars like Fuente, from about the 8-5-8 grade on up, and many of the Padron products. Along with the cigar, as Mr Tomasso has already said, I enjoy port. For the most part I'm a bourbon man. Just to mention a few, Elijah Craig 12, Maker's Mark, Jim Beam Black, Basil Haden...
Although I do occasionally have a bit of homemade on hand most of what I have to share at gatherings (out of sight of other people's children, of course) is Georgia Moon. I also also discoved that what I thought to be Georgia Moon, prior to it being bottled in Mason Jars, is really J. W. Corn...
Mr Finch
Mr Finch, thanks for an absolutely brilliant idea! I must confess, however, that I've been buying Georgia Moon, for the same purposes as yourself, since the days when it was bottled in normal long necked glass. I guess great minds do think alike, at least on occasion. One added...
Too early for Silver Queen in the Piedmont
It's still too early for the tasty Silver Queen this side of Raleigh. I think Silver Queen is a variety which takes about 80-85 days and it was so cold and wet in April that almost no one put it in until way past April 15. Most of what I see here is...
BBQ for sure
I serve foreigners, like the vikings from Wisconsin and the "Youper", BBQ for sure. And like AF, I like to serve grits. Folks from that far north seem to consider the corn they have good for silage only. I think the varieties grown that far north are often similar to our own "mule...
Rest easy Mr. Fish as you have a better chance of winning the Powerball than you do of me trying to palm off any liver on you. I cannot abide with liver. I can stand 'round the bar or the shucking screen while people wolf down their oysters, no problem, but I cannot stand the sight or the odor...
Gees Viola, I have already steered this thread off the planet
Ma'am, Barrister Finch will likely need to straighten this out but in the meantime...chitlins, actually chitterlings, are the intestines of a pig (swine, porker, squealer, etc., depending upon where you reside) which have been...
Well Mr Fish, have you tried soaking your oysters in that grapefruit/spearmint gin or soaking a musty smelling vintage hat in it? Half a case left? Holy moly. I know, what about the guy Atticus Finch is telling us about, the boiled chitlins guy? He might sucker on it. Gordon's ought to refund...
Barrister Finch
I'm with you on the chitterlings/chitlins. Over my 60+ years in and around Charlotte I've known a few mental midgets who seemed to enjoy fried chitlins but boiled! Woo wee. Boiled chitlins I would group with boiled calamari if there is such a thing. Even fried, a woman I know...
Gees Mr Mike, why would anyone...
I just cannot imagine willing eating something which I find so unpalatable that I'm forced to slam it back in the hope that the offending morsel will not come in contact with my taste receptors. I find myself fronting this same arguement with my friends who...
From my 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book
French "75"
2/3 Gin
1/3 Lemon Juice
1 Spoonfull Powdered Sugar
Pour into tall glass containing cracked ice and fill with Champagne.
Hand written at the top of the page:
French 75
75 ml Champagne
25 ml brandy
1/2 tsp sugar
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice...
AF, I'm happy to hear that you understand.
It is clear to me that, while you personally like oysters, you do really understand what my beef is with them. For myself, it's the texture for sure.
Unlike your friend, 5 times were just not enough for me. It was more a case of catch and release.
Filson Tin Cloth
I'm with INUSUIT. I have the tin cloth version. It's bullet proof (well, not real bullets) and water proof but it's too hot for any elevated temperature. I use my old DI hat or the old BSA Scout Master when it's too hot for the Filson but both are still pretty hot. Still...
Surely, the bravest man...
To be sure this will get me in trouble with the likes of Mr Finch but..Surely the bravest man who ever walked the planet was the first guy to eat an oyster. I will admit, given that I'm North Carolina stock and for more than 200 years now, my dislike of oysters...
Mr Charlestonbows and Mr Fletch
...have very kindly provided bowtie advice to me in the past. I have not actually met Mr Fletch but he has taken quite a bit of time helping me on this forum. For that I am grateful. Mr Charlestonbows is actually located in Charleston, SC. I have been to his...
Serious?
:offtopic:
Certainly sir, I would not wish to be caught dead without it. To be sure it's not as good as the best, I find it on par with some others, and much better than quite a few, at least to my way of thinking. There is, as you know, no accounting for tastes. My appologies for...
I did get mine
If this question is about the last batch of the measuring devices which SPRFINO acquired for several of us, I did get mine on May 29, as I recall. It's a nifty little tool.
