Liquor

The Swallow does not subscribe to the drinking of liquor per se, but she does use it in cooking as some dishes taste better with a little of it.

Also, what better alternatively is there when the Swallow has so many bottles to clear (with compliments from well-wishers on her marriage, pregnancies, etc...)?

These are the ones that the Swallow commonly uses

• Brandy
• Chinese Wine - Shao Hsing Hua Tiao Jiu
• DOM

Hakka Salted Chicken is one such recipe that uses liquor as one of its ingredients.
