    My first taste of Baileys was years ago when they were giving tastings in Tesco.

    Now I'm a well brought up person with nice manners - but I have my limits. I was eager to taste this much lauded new drink - I lifted the little plastic cup to my lips and put the contents in my mouth. I spat is straight out, it tasted like medicine! The poor woman's face was a picture of horror, and no wonder! :p Dh made a rapid exit, I was nothing to do with him.

    I feel the same about creme de menthe.

    If you find Baileys too sweet add a tot of Brandy, or Tia Maria. Yum!

    I seem to be finding kindred spirits on this board! Either that or we come from the same genetic material! I can't bear Bailey's or Creme de Menthe.... How do you feel about Ouzo, Moanymoany?

    I have to say purpleivy, I've never tried it. Is is aniseedy, like Pernod? If so, the answer is no. No-one in my family likes Baileys, so it just might be genetic.

    I remember nearly wetting myself laughing, when I found out that big, hunky gardening chap Tommy Walsh's favourite tipple is a tumbler of ice and Baileys.

    My fave tipple is wine or a pint of lager - lovely.

    I only like Baileys and none of the other versions. This is one thing I have to have branded named.

    I like the Baileys Haagen Daz ice cream - not boozy but tastes good.

    I guess it can be substituted for any liquid in a recipe.
