]]> Comment on Chartreuse by wasabigelatine http://www.eat.wasabigelatine.com/2008/07/21/chartreuse/#comment-397 wasabigelatine Tue, 29 Jul 2008 02:31:38 +0000 http://www.eat.wasabigelatine.com/2008/07/21/chartreuse/#comment-397 I don't like absinthe either, unless it's mixed in something since it's very bitter and black licorice-y, which I'm not fond of. Chartreuse is sweet and delicious :D Thujone is the infamous x-factor found in wormwood, which is an ingredient in absinthe (and rumored to be in chartreuse as well, but nobody really knows but the monks). Back in the day, it was blamed for absinthe-induced hallucinations, but modern tests have shown this to be inconclusive at best. Apparently, there's not enough thujone in absinthe to have much effect on the brain and now people attribute Hemingway, Van Gogh, et al's hallucinations simply due to their raging alcoholism. :D I will tell you from experience that both absinthe and chartreuse produce a really trippy wide-awake buzz, but whether it's from the thujone or other herbal ingredients is anyone's guess.
