It’s urgent. I need to be able to go there on the way home tonight and pick it up. Anybody seen any in, e.g., Breeze?
I suppose I could stop in at JBs and get a pint of draught cider “to go” but it would be a bit of an imposition – or would it?
Jasons - but my data is a bit out of date
soft or hard?
Soft or hard? Dunno what that means. Dry, i.e. not sweet is what I want.
Breeze should certainly have it. i thought I saw 2 - 3 kinds last time, near the beer section.
Hard = alcoholic
Soft = non-alcoholic (yes it is hard to believe, but they actually make this stuff 
)
But why cider and not the real stuff Champagne? if you celebrate, celebrate in style like you Scots always do hehe…
He wants to cook with it.
Soft means no alcohol in it; it is apple juice which is cloudy and a bit more tart than what is sold as “apple juice”, which is clear and sweeter.
Cider originally meant fermented apple juice, but (since Prohibition, I am guessing) it has generally meant this particular unfermented kind, while “hard cider” means the fermented kind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider
Perhaps this is just US usage?
I saw cider at Breeze recently.
“soft cider” and “hard cider” in the US refer to “non-alcoholic cider” and “alcoholic cider”. Outside the US, though, “cider” is alcoholic; the non-alcoholic stuff is simply called “apple juice”.
Us Americans and our quirky ways! 
:America: Blame that madness called “Prohibition”!
I saw bottled cider at Jason’s 101 on the weekend. Stowford Press I think it was.
Thankee thankee one and all. I’ll stop in at Breeze then – its on my way home, while Jason’s 'aint.
“Soft” cider, eh? Learn something new every day. Apple juice would not fit the bill for my purposes, though. I want a sauce, not jam.

Indeed, I Europe we only use “Dry cider” . Frixenet is the most sold brand, and I thought it was that one I saw in Breeze.
Cooking with it? euh… pancakes yes, but not a Turkey i guess
I just saw this thread. If you can’t get cider at Breeze you can just stop by Mamm Goz and they for certain have it and will sell you a bottle or two. Tell them I sent you. 
Carefour has the real stuff - good ole Cidre Bouche in 2 styles
Yes and at 5% alcohol you can enjoy 2 bottles and only get a bit ripped for 240NT. Funnily enough for Taiwan the brut is all but gone and the sweet remains!
Cidre Bouche? They still have some? The dry is good and would be ideal. Anyone know if the Hsintien Carrefour has it?
Ach never mind. Breeze is better – I can get a bottle of Croze Hermitage as well if I go there.
Probably was me that cleaned them out. Yeah, you get more drunk off of stale OJ - but it’s great for picknicks
JB’s also sells it by the bottle. “Hard” and “soft” cider? Whatever next?
Hate to boast, but I have an outstanding range of cider at at my ferry pier, and it’s all Tpebob’s fault!
