When was the last time you went looking for moonshine or had moonshine offered to you?

If you know the right people - or are in the right areas - it's not unusual or even uncommon. I know people who make moonshine in California.
I think the vast majority of people DON'T know the right people.
Probably true! But I stumbled into it in Oakland without even trying, and large swaths of Appalachia have longstanding moonshining traditions.
moonshine isn't even the write analogy. When was the last time someone offered you home-grown tobacco?
Within the last five years, when a retired co-worker came through. (I guess that working on old cars didn't fill enough of his time.) Actually, he didn't offer it to me, but another guy in the office got a jar.
