Food Media CHOW's roundup of food-related news from blogs, newspapers, magazines, cookbooks, and film.

Bartender, Not Another One of Those, Please

CHOW ran a story on the 10 worst drink concepts of all time. Unfortunately, that piece was filed and published before the following unnamed Greek monstrosity came to light: a mixture of Baileys, chili, tequila, absinthe, ouzo, vodka, cider, and gin.

This abyssal concoction was sufficiently bad that the face of the poor young woman who ordered it promptly puffed up like a soccer ball. Quoth the BBC, in a short report on what not to drink: “Doctors in Greece said the swelling was caused by a chemical reaction and they had seen a similar incident within the past couple of weeks.”

Note: The woman’s bloated postdrink mug shot is disconcerting enough to scare teens straight.

Yikes! I certainly hope that her swelling goes away. That drink sounds disgusting.

What do you think?
