Raki is a spirit produced and distilled in Crete using the leftovers from winemaking -the skin the flesh and the pips of the grapes.In Cyprus it's called Zivania ,in Greece tsipouro or tsikoudia and in Italy Grappa;sometimes its flavoured with anise then it's ouzo.......

Nice one Bubble! I never have much luck finding Horns - must try harder! Loads of hedgehog fungi around at the moment though.

Too many hedgehog fungus down here - I've stopped picking them now (well, almost). Plenty of horns, winter chanterelles and chanterelles... I love winter chanterelles and I always find it odd that very few people pick them, especially when they are in such huge numbers.
