The instructions in the Larousse, in full: "Plunge the animelles [ridiculous that you can't find them as an entry under "testicles"] into boiling water for about 2 minutes, cool under cold water, and immediately skin them.

Who knows what impurities you guys ingested!

Re: “Understanding Whiskey”
Hey, what about cooking? I'm always grilling steaks and eyeballing my whiskey - I'm sure there's some way to combine the two. Add it to the barbecue sauce? Splash it into the pan, like when cooking with red wine?
