I have had some lemon skin sitting in 95% alcohol for about three
weeks now. I don't know when I will add the syrup, but apparently it
should be around 2 - 12 weeks.

It's wonderful stuff, but shouldn't be more than about 40%.

Then why do your counter statements fall over flat?

i.e. Italians do all those same things.

I have no idea what you mean by precious.

Did you actually read what I was responding to, or is this just a
knee-jerk reaction to one of my posts? I'm not setting Americans
against Italians, I'm trying to show that Americans aren't much
different than anyone else.

See the statements: "An unpopular law is much more likely to be
observed in the USA than Italy in my opinion," and "Although it's
true America has become far more a nation of sheep than it was
then"?

I would reckon the era of sheepdom for the USA might have been
the 1950s, though.
