feral trade grappa
from Pula Rakija Lab Pula, Croatia
A kitchen style rakija (Croatian for grappa) sourced direct from its infusion lab in the home of Mrs Danica Kuzmanovic, Pula, Croatia. The clear grape spirit is made by friends who own local vineyards. The late Mr Nika Kuzmanovic, a physicist of Serbian origin, had difficulty finding work in Pula during the war in the 90's and started bartering his programming skills for sustenance products such as bread, meat and grappa. After Nika's death in 2007, Danica took over the production of infusions. Infused grappa is a way to preserve the herbs and fruit from the rich Istrian landscape. Seasonal flavours incude Jujube, Blackhorn, Walnut, Fig, Carob, Travarica, Sage and Honey, Fennel, Lemongrass, Limoncello, Misteltoe, Quince and Cornelian Cherry Dogwood flavoured. http://feraltrade.org/grappa. ferally traded since: 24/10/06.

maja kuzmanovic On the 24/10 2006, I divided the grappas between my check-in and carry-on luggage (business class allowance was quite generous). Departed from the N&D Grappa Lab at 4:30 AM. Arrived at the Pula airport at 4:45. Checked in the bag, but was informed that the flight was delayed, due to fog in Zadar. The plane departed at 7AM, tried landing in Zadar, but failed and continued to Zagreb. In Zagreb, the ground staff waited for me to carry my carry-on, as the plane for Brussels was held on the international terminal, waiting for me. We raced past the security, with the stewardess waving her badge around when the security guard wanted to open my bag, so he gave up and pushed the bag across the counter. The stewardess caught just before it was about to launch itself across the floor. I was stuffed through the boarding gate in an empty bus and from the bus, raced across to the plane, with the bag that felt quite heavy this time. We departed to Brussels at 08:20, with 10 minutes of delay. When I got to Brussels just after 10AM, I waited for the check-in bag with more than 1/2 of the grappa, which, of course didn't arrive. I walked across the terminal to the lost luggage counter, where they informed me that my bag would be arriving with the afternoon flight and that it will be delivered to me in the evening. I took the Brussels Airport Express and arrived on Brussels North around 11AM. Walked to Rogier Metro and caught the metro nr 2 to Ribaucourt. Walked home in Rue Jennart, where I arrived around 11.30AM. The bag arrived around 7PM, in an excellent condition.
