Good heavens! We have so much to say about this classic piece of literature. We mostly talk about our favorite parts and forget to dissect the adaptation but, Mr. Bennet, please we can’t help ourselves. Em is flabbergasted that Jordan hasn’t seen the BBC version and Jordan admits why she has a hard time with this version of Mr. Darcy.
Episode Drink: Rye and Prejudice
3 oz grapefruit juice
1 ½ oz rye whiskey
Pour the ingredients over ice in a rocks glass, stirring like a complicated heart. We hold no prejudice against marrying up ladies, but you don’t need a castle (or a king) to be a queen.
