I must break you!

This blog post today is dedicated to my hero, my muse, my father figure and my all time favourite action man of ALL time. 

Dolph Lundgren





Now, what the hell does Dolph Lundgren have to do with Heavy Metal I hear you say?
Well, don't worry pal. I'll get to that in a minute.

But first let me just give you a run down of the reasons why I love Dolph so much.
My friends think I'm weird, I don't care. I will defend his honour to the death.
But here is my list.


  1. He's a very good actor (see, The Punisher, The final Enquiry, Dark Angel, One in the Chamber).
  2. He's a big hulking man machine.
  3. He's a really nice guy, can take fun of himself and is not a Hollywood  Douche. See below.



3. He is a smart cookie. With a Degree in Chemical engineering.

4. He's shit hot at martial arts.

5.  He stars in Showdown in little Tokyo which is one of the best buddy films ever made. Dolph Lundgren an Brandon Lee invented "Bromance".




6. Dolph, is an actor, writer , producer and director. A hard working man.

7. Dolph doesn't need to jump off planes, destroy jet fighters with cars, use massive guns, fly through the flippin air or do stupid unbelievable stunts. 
He fights with his mitts. 
Like a real man.

8. Dolph is responsible for my mantra in life for whenever I'm in a tight spot .
 "What would Dolph do"?  

9. He is one of the most memorable action stars of all time. 
He was the  first guy to play The Punisher, so good that his quote from The Punisher was used in Biohazards video for "Punishment".
See, that's where the Heavy Metal angle comes in. Aaaah!




10. Whenever I feel crappy I put on a Dolph film and it cheers me right up.

If I were ever to meet the man in person I would say ""Thank you".

Thank you Dolph because in a strange way, having never met you, you have made my life better by being in it. 

Anyhoooooooo, so this is a foodie blog yes? I keep forgetting this.

So in honour of The Man, the Legend that is Mr Dolph Lundgren  I have named a cocktail for him.

I call it             The Lundgrenberry Punisher




This recipe uses Lingonberry juice (see what I did there with the name, Eh? Eh?)

Lingonberries are native to Dolph's neck of the woods. That's Sweden by the way.
 They are similarish to blueberries. So if you are finding it difficult to get a hold of some lingonberry juice you
can substitute it for blueberry juice.



Get yourself a big pint glass and fill it with ice then add the following, give it a good stir then get it doon ye'.

25ml Vodka
250ml sweet cider,  Recorderlig wild berries is very good with this but you could just use a normal sweet apple cider
100ml Lingonberry juice

Here's a weird photo


Enjoy.
