Thanks for the comment! Aside from providing me with a fascinating article, it finally solves my uncertainty about &#x27;jenever&#x27; being linked to &#x27;gin&#x27;. I&#x27;ve been trying to explain what it was to my expat friends, and gin is something they understand.<p>(still can&#x27;t get them to enjoy raw herring though, which is traditionally paired with gin, especially when the new catch, Hollandse Nieuwe, is in...)
