Egg Nog is also good and the key to ice cream is higher fat-- better taste

Cornish ice cream is just very rich vanilla. I think they were trying to make out that it's as creamy as Cornish clotted cream when they called it Cornish. Doesn't mean that it comes from Cornwall - it's just someone's idea of a marketing ploy

It is very nice though

Clotted cream.... With scones and strawberry jam.... At a pot of freshly brewed tea...

That's Cornish? Over here we call that French Vanilla. You can usually sell anything in the U.S. if you put a country in front of it. On St Patrick's day we usually enjoy Corned Beef & Cabbage. My Irish grandmother said they never eat the stuff...too expensive for the Irish. They usually ate ham & cabbage.
Irish coffee is a good idea. Finally a good combination of whipped cream and alcohol

And perfect at any time of the day, even for breakfast

I must admit I've never seen French Vanilla ice cream here in the States, although I am familiar with FV coffee - one of those instant coffees that comes in a small oblong tin... International Foods make them I think.

If you go to the freezer cabinet today there's a bewidering choice of ice cream flavours, especially if you're looking at a cabinet full of Ben and Jerrys and Haagen Daz

I've not bought ice cream before because I couldn't decide which flavour to get. On such intenses hot chocolate is a good substitute. It is always chocolate flavour.

Irish coffee is great stuff. Have never come across French Vanilla though.

Gosho, you ever been to a Schnucks Supermarket in the midwest? It's like French Vanilla everything from Coffeemate to , well, ice cream!

Not familiar with that store. We have HEB and Randalls down here in Texas, and I've been to Ralphs, Vons, and Pavilion in California.

Peanut brittle was accidentally invented in 1890 by a woman in New England when she used baking soda instead of cream of tartar in her peanut flavored taffy.
Just a fun fact fer ya

Sounds like a good accident.

I didn't either... but I made peanut brittle for a living a good while back, and I don't ever remember putting anything in it except for sugar, glucose syrup, and peanuts

Oh. Well, somebody looked at it and either made up a good cover story, or figured out how to make it cheaper. Whaddaya think?

Maybe American peanut brittle isn't the same thing as British peanut brittle

Perhaps so. Could compare the ingrediance lists, but that would require finding some peanut brittle, which I have not acheived so far.

I think peanut brittle might be a regional favorite, midwest and south south west. Whaddaya think Gosho?
