About ten years ago, while I was living in Japan, I organized a prefectural British festival, as part of a British-Japanese culture year. We taught maypole dancing, cricket, and rugby, and served scones with cream and jam. We also managed to find a company willing to donate some cases of Irn Bru. At the end of the day, I got to take the remaining cans home with me, which was great because I loved it, and most people who tried it did not.
How to describe Irn Bru? Well first, there's the name. It's pronounced "iron brew" and has been made in Falkirk and Glasgow for more than 100 years. It's an orange color, like Lucozade, and contains a small amount of iron. One ad campaign when I was younger claimed it was "made from girders." As for the flavor - it's not citrus,
it's... well, what is it? You'd have to try it for yourself to decide.
