Jägermeister is German herbal schnapps (pronounced Yaeger-my-ster). Jäger meaning Hunter, Meister meaning Master: Master Hunter or Hunt Master.

It was originally used when out hunting to keep the hunters warm (and drunk occasionally), and no hunting group would be found dead without it (probably dead drunk if found at all). There are over a hundred other herbal schnapps, and when I come over in April next year I'll bring a couple of samples with me (Lettie you're first in the queue as you take Jägermeister regularly).

Schnapps are normally taken after a meal to aid digestion, and help get rid of a bloating feeling (pregnant women excepted).

Normally between 34%-45% proof, there are also many other types of vegetable or fruit schnapps(sometimes milder at 20%-30%). At home in Bavaria, the local one is called Bärwurz (Bear Roots), and is based on Celery!! or Celleriac!! (40% to 48%).

I can positively confirm that it kills rats as well!!! (shall I send some to Peter Britcliffe?)
