I'm not vegan and I don't drink Guinness.

I once had a friend from Newfoundland who drank something called Newfoundland Screech. As the bottles didn't screech, and neither did he, I wondered why it was called that. He admitted he didn't know. I asked what was in it. He said he thought it was "rum mixed with fish juice."

I don't drink Newfoundland Screech, either.
