Snit
Ken Fortenberry
it comes with a snit. A snit is a little juice glass full of
draught beer for a chaser. It would be an interesting bit of
regional etymology to figure out how a beer chaser came to be
known as a snit.
Anyway, it's a damn good idea and the Bloody Mary's at the
Gunflint Tavern on the Lake are damn good too. For 8 bucks
you get a huge Bloody Mary with olives, pickle, celery and
a nice prawn perched on the side of the glass. And a snit.
Cheers from the north shore !!

I first heard the word snit used as a beer chaser at a wedding
reception in the TC (Twin Cities) The bride's family was Swedish and
used the word, snit, in that context. However, I've always used the
phrase, "beer chaser." I guess I'm just a damned americkan. For me the
word always meant "in an agitated or irritated state." As in "Senator
Ken Fortenberry is really in a snit because he was passed over for
promotion in the Illinois Senate today."
BTW, how's the fishing?
Hope you DID NOT catch any Detroit trouser trout.

The fishing is always great, and this year the catching is
excellent too ! They've had plenty of rain up here this year
and the streams are running clear and cold.

There are all kinds of cocktail oddities in Minnesota. For instance,
margaritas routinely come served with a hazlenut. A Tom Collins is
pink in MN, they add grenadine to it. Thems odd folk up there.
Peace,
