Bene'n'ot

A superlative walk today.

The Burnley Miners’ Club hosts an improbable superlative as the world’s leading consumer of the French liqueur, Benedictine - over 1000 bottles per year. It became popular with soldiers from East Lancashire, who were based for a time near the abbey where the drink is made in Normandy, in 1918.  The local drink Bene’n’ot - combining the liqueur and hot water  - is a popular local conclusion to a night out.
