Intro
Mitch:
[0:50] We're there. We're trying to get in there before everyone else.
Isi:
[0:54] We are in Christmas mood!
Mitch:
[0:56] We are in Christmas mood. (Wait.)
Isi:
[0:59] This is Amarula on ice, which is very much, probably only for us, I don't know if other people also do that for Christmas. It's a Christmassy drink for us. I think other people, for that, choose Baileys, but Baileys for me is too creamy.
Mitch:
[1:16] What is Amarula?
Isi:
[1:18] Amarula is a liquor made out of the marula fruit. I know it from Namibia, but I think it's originally from South Africa and it's a fruit that elephants eat from the trees. That's why there's a big elephant on it. Did you know it before me?
Mitch:
[1:34] I'd always seen it. I'd always seen it. I always thought, oh, that looks a bit like Baileys. But whereas Baileys... Baileys is kind of... it's almost a dessert rather than a liqueur.
Isi:
[1:46] Amarula is also creamy.
Mitch:
[1:48] Yeah, it looks almost identical to Baileys, right? What is the alcohol? Because Baileys is whiskey.
Isi:
[1:53] Ah, good... I don't know. Maybe it's just the fruit, maybe it's like fermented fruit or something.
Mitch:
[2:01] Oh maybe, Amarula alcohol.
Isi:
[2:04] It's a bit more boozy than Bailey's.
Mitch:
[2:07] Ah, yeah it is actually the marula fruit, which has started to ferment. (Ha!) So it's almost like a vodka of... where is marula fruit like native to?
Isi:
[2:19] Well, definitely the southern part of the African continent.
Mitch:
[2:26] South Africa and also in parts of West Africa.
Isi:
[2:30] Yeah.
Mitch:
[2:31] It's nice though, and it is Christmasy, which is... the theme of this week's podcast, hate us or not, you're going to have to listen.
