The more I look in my basement the more items I find with no preservatives. Last night I found some Clove Honey. Just pure clove honey, nothing added and all the crap taken out. We got this at Sam's Club. That's right! You could walk into Wal-Mart and walk away with the prime ingredient to make a very height grade and high quality mead. Wal-Mart of all places!
Tonight while we were making dinner our two year old, I call her Oogie, went into the basement and came up with a can of peaches. Just wanting to know what she was about to eat I looked at the ingredients. What did I find? Peaches, water, corn syrup and sugar. NO PRESERVATIVES. Nothing that could possible stop fermentation. Nothing that would inhibit the creation of a peach wine. I also found that the myth of being able to eat healthy is expensive is just a myth. We purchased these peaches at a store called Save A Lot. It is a discount grocery store.
I know what is going to happen now. When Leslie and I go shopping I will be looking at cans of anything that I could turn to wine to see what has preservatives and what does not. I think when the dust settles on this I will see that for years I have been eating healthy and I really didn't have to buy "Organic" crap for three times the price of what is on the general shelf. You know, maybe the whole Organic movement is just bull shit so people can grow 1/2 the crops and actually charge three times the amount. hummm.... I wonder who else has looked at food in this light before.
I guess the full and the short of this is take a good look into your local grocery and you just may find things that you never thought of turning into an adult beverage on the shelf begging for you to take it and make the Bio-Chemical processes take shape and make something that was never meant to be anything more, oh so much more.
