I have developed a fondness for Waitrose's Apple and Elderflower Squash. At first I wasn't sure, but it grows on you, so to speak and is delightful.

I don't know why I felt the need to share this with you, but there you have it.

Waitrose's Apple and Elderflower Squash. Lovely.

Ummm, not to rain on your parade, dear, but that sounds utterly disgusting. Squash? With apple? Bleah!

Oops. I think we have a difference in usage here! I don't mean squash as in the er... fruit (I've never seen that in the UK, or if I have, it's got a different name). I mean "squash" as in fruit syrup that you dilute with water .

I suppose cordial would have been a less confusing word for an internationally-read man of word (Ho Lordy, listen to me!).

I just looked it up to find out what US-style squashes are called in the UK and it seems they are all grouped as marrows.

So yes, you would have been quite right - apple and elderflower with marrow - bleah!

To us Yankees, a squash is... well... what can be found following the "squash (fruit)" link on Wikipedia's Squash Disambiguation page :) Only we refer to it as a *vegetable* even if it is, botanically speaking, a fruit.

Clear enough for ya? :)

I was heretofore unaware of the "fruit syrup" meaning, although I was aware of the sport. Thanks for the info!

I wish you good luck in a "fondness" for this beverage. I have tried and quite simply failed to fight my own fondness for Tesco White Grape and Blackberry (bramble to me) slilghtly sparkling water and also Sainsbury's Blueberry and Blackberry (bramble again) slightly sparkling water. Suppose someone has to keep them in profit!

Mmmmmm elderflower. I am with you on that one, know the product too. Send me a couple of bottles over would ya? That and one of those giant tubs of Marmite - I can get that here, but it costs its weight in gold. ;-)

Email me your address and I'll see what I can do.

Elderflower mmmmmmm

Aww :) I love you for the offer, but I can live without - it would probably cost far more to send than would be worth it. Nonetheless I am touched (in a totally platonic way, before I get bad-Furtled!).

Tune in next week for "When Furtles Go Bad!" :-D
