I'm about 75% through this list and 100% through the list of fine Hungarian beverages (both of them!)
You're not so lucky, Walter! There are many types of Palinka; grape, plum, pear, apple, walnut, seal fur, chilli. In fact just about any soft fruit will be turned into palinka and then possibly infused with something or other. They all smell and taste of anti-freeze of course, but after a while you can tell which type of anti-freeze you've been given to taste.
The nice thing about Palinka is that the rocket fuel stuff is free. Although it's not something to savour with a fine cigar (you may blow up).
Cheers, Paul
