Drinking Made Easy
If the Swedish Chef from the Muppets didn’t cause nightmares,
then you were a tough kid. Here was a neurotic bushy eye browed freaky
looking Muppet with an over sized moustache and man hands that tossed
around cleavers and other dangerous cooking utensils. He’d start every
segment with his theme song ending it with the fling of his kitchen
gadgets that for some reason always startled him. The recipe he’d cook
always train wrecked into a culinary disaster as he spewed Swedish
sounding gibberish. The chef walked a fine line toward creating a
full-blown stereotype. The only thing missing were empty Absolut Vodka
bottles, a couple of Abba records and a set constructed 100% of Ikea
furniture. However, if you wanted to start a nightmare-free stereotype
that the Swedes are creating some of the best whisky in the world, then I
will toss my whisky glass over my shoulder and listen.
