It's a shande that living out here on the West Coast makes it difficult if not impossible to atted the US Slivovitz Festival

I've tried real rotgut Slivovitz and some good Slivovitz. The good stuff has respectable qualities, but the rotgut is really vile.

I have never met a drop of Slivovitz that I liked.

Unfortunately, good Slivovitz is a relatively rare find. Note, I said some of the good stuff is respectable - I never said I liked it.

I haven't had many slivovitzes; out here in the west they're not common. However, in my experience, the best (maybe the only really good one) is the Jelinek 10-year old 100p-poof one. But I wouldn't mind trying some othes.

The Hungarian one we get at Trader Joe's; my wife puts some in her chocolate cakes.

The one from Yugoslavia will take out your insides; we used to drink it at Balkan dance parties.

Tasted Slivovotz twice in my youth and the bad taste still lingers in my mind.
My grandfather z"l used to make Havdala on it and I remember us kids being thrilled weekly when he attempted to extinguish the candle and the entire plate would go up in flames. Best use for it.
