Hi folks,
In the never-ending quest to list every meadery in the world, I find myself stumped. I speak English, some Spanish, a little French, and thats pretty much it, except for swearing in Hvartski (Croatian - learned it from Oskaar).
So, I'd like to ask for volunteers who speak languages other than English, either as a native or not, to help me find meaderies worldwide.
I need the following information:
Company Name
Contact Name
Address
Province/County/State
City
Zip or Zip equivalent
Phone
Email
Web page (if they have one)
It would also be nice to have a list of their meads. Look here to see how the ones we have are laid out.
OK, here are words for mead in other languages that I know (if you know others, or find I need correcting, please let me know):
* aguamiel - Spanish mead
* balche - Mayan mind altering mead made with balche bark
* chouchen - Breton (France) mead
* hidromel - Portugese mead
* hydromel - French mead
* idromele - Italian mead
* med - Bulgarian and Ukranian
* meddeglyn or myddyglyn - Welsh spiced mead
* mede - Dutch mead
* medovina - Czech and Slovak mead
* medovukha - Russian mead
* medu - Old High German/Old Saxon/varient of Old English, Mercian and Northumbrian
* medus - Lithuanian and/or Latvian honey
* meis - Eritrean mead
* meodu - Old English, West Saxon
* met - German mead
* midus - Lithuanian mead
* miòd - Polish mead
* mjød - Danish and Norwegian mead
* mjöd - Swedish mead
* mõdu - Estonian honey beer
* nabidh - Arabic mead
* sima - Finnish mead
* t'ej - Ethiopian mead (since about 400 B.C.)
* ydromeli - Greek mead
Here are some other names for mead that I've found in my researches:
* madhu - in the Sanscrit Vedas
* nectar or ambrosia - in the Greek and Roman mythologies
* alu - Prussian for mead
* methe - Ancient Greek for mead
* mede - Frisian, and Low German
* metu or mitu - Old HIgh German
* meth - German
* melikatos - old Greek (morphed into hydromeli in present)
Thanks, and I'll hope to get folks who can help me scour the world outside the US for mead!!! Don't forget stores that have mead, and brewing supply shops outside the US.
