Now you're really pouring on the pressure!  All this talk of decent English
beer and I've had to make do with a Heineken at lucnh (couldn't even get a
Guinness) but did manage a decent Bordeaux also.

Now then;

Foulds -- a mango lassi
Orff -- an entire cask of dunkelbraue from
Schwarbrauerei Zuesmarshausen
Petrov -- iced pepper Stolichnaya
Aho -- aquavit
Vierne -- creme de menthe in a pint of lukewarm
salted water

And Khrennikov would doubtless drink the freshly-drawn blood of
non-conformist composers!
