We did "Salamanders". I understand this came from German university fraternities or "Student Corps". Apparently one had to do a perfect Salamander before one could go into the "Salle a manger" and have dinner.
Not sure why the German students used a French phrase for dining room except that it was a good play on words. Anyway, one could get well and truly lubricated before having anything to eat if you messed up your salamanders. Memory dims (brain cells shot by too many imperfect salamanders?) as to the exact sequence of the salamander but I think it was distantly related to Cardinal Puff.
