I like it with ginger ale too.Mannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-14977112538338913082011-07-18T00:07:24.205+03:002011-07-18T00:07:24.205+03:00Mann - I was also introduced to Pimm's when li...Mann - I was also introduced to Pimm's when living in the UK, but was never served it with plain white lemonade - always a good proper lemonade (a far cry from Kelluke, trust me!) or ginger beer/ginger ale. Maybe it's the foodie and/or Scottish thing? :)Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-18790703086106207022011-07-13T23:26:48.623+03:002011-07-13T23:26:48.623+03:00I was introduced to Pimms while living in UK and I...I was introduced to Pimms while living in UK and I have been loving it ever since. However at least in UK the most popular mixer is the plain ordinary white lemonade accompanied with loads of fruit. It just doesn't taste the same with whatever good lemonade :) So even though I sometimes try other mixers as well, the good old Kelluke is my favorite mixer for Pimms in Estonia :)Mannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-84185759693432174082011-07-13T18:14:59.057+03:002011-07-13T18:14:59.057+03:00Alec - borage seems to thrive in our garden as wel...Alec - borage seems to thrive in our garden as well, slowly invading various spots. Luckily our chicken LOVE it, so we can feed all extras to them.. <br /><br />Louise, I think I prefer the original/authentic borage to cucumber - it's a lot prettier, too!<br /><br />Jeanne - I know :) Do try it with red orange lemonade (orangeade?) - a match made in heaven!<br /><br />LJB - hästi tehtud :)Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-45989550222990345402011-07-05T15:01:05.599+03:002011-07-05T15:01:05.599+03:00Pimm's is nice :) I just recently introduced a...Pimm's is nice :) I just recently introduced a group of Estonians to it - http://www.crankymonkeys.com/blog/please-dont-make-me-go-back-to-work-tomorrow/<br /><br /><br />(let me know if you prefer no links in comments...)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482459464795182198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-43077445290211923392011-06-30T19:01:50.723+03:002011-06-30T19:01:50.723+03:00No Pimms available in Estonia??

I am a traditionalist - I like it with lemonade & all the fruit bits you described. We served our guests Pimms cup at our wedding reception, and this weekend I will be having rather a lot of it on the banks of hte Thames at the Henley Royal Regatta!!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-84560646230450126942011-06-29T02:36:17.206+03:002011-06-29T02:36:17.206+03:00Cucumber and orange slices are key, and borage is ...Cucumber and orange slices are key, and borage is so pretty too.

I tolerate it, though, because the flowers are purdy - unlike bishops weed which is strictly in separate containers - and as a poor man's cucumber whilst on a restricted income and wrong climate for cucumber except on a windowsill.Alechttp://efrafandays.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-78262408686345031072011-06-28T11:19:15.271+03:002011-06-28T11:19:15.271+03:00Rachel - it's indeed a shame we cannot find it...Rachel - it's indeed a shame we cannot find it in Estonia (though might be a blessing, if you read Kristina's comment). We bought ours from Helsinki, a large supermarket near the harbour.<br /><br />Kristina - so not available in Sweden either???<br /><br />Johanna - don't tell me you haven't found a source in Singapore?? It'd be a perfect drink for those lazy hot afternoons. Apparently it's also an excellent mosquito repellent (it's the quinine in the drink), so very useful in almost-tropical climate :)<br /><br />Alec - apparently borage/starfruit is the original garnish, but as it's not easily available in most parts of the world, then a slice of cucumber has become a popular (and standard) addition.Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-58538148288990093932011-06-28T11:09:42.442+03:002011-06-28T11:09:42.442+03:00Is cucumber not used as standard in shop-bought Pi...Is cucumber not used as standard in shop-bought Pimms? But, yes, borage/starfruit leaves is also great as a salad crop.<br /><br />Is the nectar not a narcotic?
