<p>RevChas: Replaced dead link to Fernet-Branca with a link to an article on it at Wikipedia.</p> <hr /> <div>An invigorating herbal and medicinal drink which has marked restorative effects on the consumer. Known for centuries in [[Überwald]], any [[Igor]] worth his stitches knows the secret(1), and will happily brew a cup for a Marthter who is tired and in need of relaxation at the end of a long day. There is no alcohol in it '''''whatsoever''''', partly because alcohol cannot survive the company of the other ingredients, which Igor will vaguely define as ''tree-bark''. If pressed, Igor will also refer to '''''naturally occurring mineral salts''''', and then smoothly inform you that in Überwald, nothing gets a man out of bed in the morning and out working in six feet of snow to hammer through the plug of ice in the well faster than a mug of hot Splot. <br /> <br /> It's just a shame that the human speech faculty cannot keep up with the surging thoughts and bright sparkly new ideas running through a Splot-permeated brain.<br /> <br /> Later on, you may discover that belladonna is a herb, and arsenic salts are indeed a naturally occurring mineral. It is currently outlawed in many parts of modern Überwald. <br /> [[Moist von Lipwig]] re-acquaints himself with a taste of home in [[Book:Making Money|Making Money]].<br /> <br /> <br /> (1) It is not a word one wants to hear from an Igor, however. Not to one's face, at least.<br /> <br /> It has been alleged that [[absinthe]] and ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernet-Branca this]'' are the nearest Roundworld equivalents, although both bear the same relationship to Splot that Nanny Ogg's original recipes do to the [[Book:Nanny Ogg's Cookbook|published versions]]...<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Food and drink]]<br /> [[de:Splot]]</div>
