I'd say "Yes, please." And I didn't look in the dictionary. Wassail is a family tradition of mine that we make from scratch (nearly)--we juice our own apples (though we add canned orange juice to it) and cook it along with all the right spices (and a secret ingredient that we don't tell ANYONE about) over an open fire served up with peppermint candy canes to stir it. AMAZING.

I have actually hear them using this word, for real, in an orchard in Somerset. It had something to do with saluting the apple trees and thus ensuring a good crop. I'm not sure there was any particular reply though?
