I've taken to drinking pear cider lately because - meh, what's life without food whimsy? Any fans?

I like it as long as it's not over-the-top sweet. I drank nice pear cider in Latvia.

There is no such thing. Cider is made from apples.
You may be thinking of perry.

I like to mix it with wine that's neither red nor white. Cider with rosé.

I drank nice pear cider in Latvia. How about malted grain cider? You may be thinking of perry. Or maybe hop cider

I'm not sure if I have or have not had pear cider or whatever you want to call it. I don't mind apple cider as long as it's not too sweet.

If you've ever drunk a Babycham, that is a perry.

It clearly says "cider" on the container. Please redirect all further comments to Tesco!

Heh...Cider. Yeah.
I had scrumpy in the SW my first trip to the UK. It knocked me on my ass....back when I was still drinking and could hold my liquor.
I had not heard of the distinction between apple and pear ciders. They don't tend to call it 'perry' here, (it's 'pear cider') but I like the distinction.
My experience tells me that whenever there is a glut of fruit which will easily and successfully ferment in to an alcoholic beverage, it will be done. Palinka, rakia, armagnac, cognac, and other spirits have their origins in the challenge of not wasting a bumper crop of orchard fruits.
What is 'Three Counties', anyway?

The Three Counties Cider and Perry Association was founded in 1993 by a group of craft scale cider makers who came together at the cider and perry trials run by the The Big Apple at Putley in Herefordshire. Their intention was to improve the image and quality of Farmhouse Cider and Perry. Gloucestershire, Hereford and Worcestershire. www.thethreecountiesciderandperryassociation.co.uk/

Salad cream on chips is better than plain mayo. I don't know the recipe for salad cream: I suppose it's just mayo with a dash of flavouring additions.

Salad cream, as made and sold by Heinz UK, should probably get its own thread. It's one of those things that Americans don't understand.
