Ever Drink a Gelbe Stuka?
 

I asked this qestion before on a different thread - no answers yet, so I'll give it its on thread and start it off with a couple of hints.

1. It is not served in a bar that the general public can go into.

2. It was in Germany.

I did a google for it myself and nothing came up so it is in-deed rare. But I did drink this once - once was enough.


Original Post:

Ever hear of Gelbe Stuka?

Tastes almost as bad as Razeputz - a real gag reflex initiator.

We were told that it means "Bird of Prey Piss."

But if you were ever allowed to drink it - you earned it. And you were glad to do so.

Anybody know where it comes form?

My goodness Mitch, you seem to have quite a fondness for German beverages that contain alcohol. Have you become thirsty in your golden years?

My tranlsation of Gelbe Stuka came out to something like:

Gelb= yellow

Stuka= Sturzkampfflugzeug= plane that dives in battle

I don't know where bird came from. The fact that it's yellow scares me a little. Sorry, but I'll have to say that I've never drank one, and I've drank quite a few different things while I was in Germany. Love the place by the way.

Tschussi!

Other than Milk - I can't even think of a German Beverage that does not contain alcohol - or that can't be meaningfully combined with alcohol.

Fortunatley, my drinking was mostly social back then, but then, most everyone I knew felt that the only way to be socialble was to drink - kind of a self fullfilling spiral.

These days - it is just not a part of my life, that is unless, I run into some old friends.

Milk with....
 

The Germans in my area (Grafenwoehr) must have been more creative. Milk with SCOTCH was popular in the Metropol Bar (same bar that Elvis used to sing in when he was serving there).

Never heard of a Yellow Divebomber but they also had a drink that was Escorial based called a Monkey. It was set on fire before consumption.

Was the Gelbe Stuka based on Advocat? That is the only yellow liquer I can think of that was popular in German drinking culture.

1. It is not served in a bar that the general public can go into.

Allright Mitch,

I've racked my brain enough. Is it a speciality drink that's only served in one of the places that I'm thinking about? You know, on one of the little side streets downtown near the Bahnhof? Blonde hair, lingerie, perfume...

Don't want to push this riddle too far - so here is another hint.

Gelbe Stuka was a cerimonial initiation drink - used by a German military unit.

So this is a very narrow knowledebase. Like I said, I googled it it doesn't show up.

It must be something that the Fallschirmjagers (paratroopers) drink. Something like a radler but a little more bitter. Perhaps with lemon juice. The yellow color still scares me though and I'm begining to think it could be a little wierd.

Getting close - these guys were airborne qualified.

Some kind of a Fallschirmjaeger drink??

GSG9?

Instead of lemonade??

Damn, there goes my night water jump! :D

Listerine and Vodka?

That concoction would have a high gag reflex.

Could be. Those guys'll do anything!;)

You guys were getting pretty close.

But just one more hint - they they drink their Gelbe Stuka just once in a career and they do it in Eckernförder.



Does that help?
