God, I forgot about mead!
If any of you have the chance, mead is easy to make at home-- you just need a lot of honey, water, and some champagne yeast (available at a winemakers shop, or online from many places-- not expensive), and a big sealed container. Nothing beats homemade mead: it's sweet, but not unpleasantly so, light, but not too light to be a good drink, and it will go well with anything.
Sometimes you can find bottled mead at specialty stores or Whole Foods, even. But it's a pretty pale reflection of the real thing.
Great stuff, mead. I love it.
