two things we learnt in britain after the norman invasion of 1066 were:
1)don't look up when there are arrows flying about
2)how to make decent cider.
true,apple trees/cider had been about in britain since before roman times but one of the main tipple's was wine from vineyards in the south west of the country.with climate change(yep nothing new about that either) the vineyards disappeared & the romans introduced us to orchards(oh yeah,and taking a bath now & again!)the rest is,as we say,history!
i guess that one of the great things about cider(or cyder)is that it has a great range from bone dry to sweet,still & sparkling,low to high alcohol so largely works where most wines do.
my favourite is aspalls cyder from suffolk.their premier cru is hard to beat.i use their draught in pork,chicken,veal & seafood dishes,fabulous when cooking mussels
