I was planning to go away for the weekend to see friends, but the trip had to be called off at the last minute. So instead, I went Christmas shopping in Hereford.
I did treat myself at the same time. While passing through the indoor market, I paused by the Gwatkin Cider stall. I'm not really a cider drinker, but they did have a variety of unusual mead on offer, made by Chalice Mead Company (chalicemead.co.uk). They're based in the South Downs. My eye was caught by the chili mead - but what really interested me was the nettle mead. The young man on the stall offered me a taste. "I don't know what they do to it, but it really works," he said.
It really does work - it's full of flavour and quite robust.
