What's your quirk
 
. . in food or drink?

I just gave in to a whim and made a Marmalade milkshake. Marmalade, for those who don't know, is a chunky citrus jam. It was pretty good, not a world-beater, but nice if you want something simple and different.

What's your quirk?

I used to really enjoy "lemon" Cokes ...

Still see "cherry", "vanilla" and "lime" Cokes, but not "lemon."

Oldfart 10-21-2012 05:16 AM

Is it worth drinking with a wedge of lemon, the way the young ones drink Corona?

I like mixing lemonade and dr.pepper.

Lilith 10-21-2012 06:31 PM

I like mixing Kahlua, Bailey's, Rum, and Soy milk or cream or 2% or heavy cream or almond milk or just naked

gigi 10-21-2012 06:37 PM

A shot of Jamesons with a pickle juice shot as a chaser. A Pickleback. It strangely tastes like a Big Mac. I am just not sure what that says about the drink or the sandwich...

ShadowDancer 10-21-2012 07:58 PM

Homemade Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake w/homemade Choc buttercream or homemade choc ganache & Walnuts on top.


As for drink--there's this concoction at the local comedy club called Liquid Laughter...it's got: Apple Schnapps, Midori, Rum & Cranberry Juice (it's a double cocktail); garnished with a cherry. It's quite tasty...but will hit you quick!

There was a time........ long long ago......... when your local 'soda fountain' jerk made your flavored coke for an extra penny on a nickle coke and two cents for a dime coke. One pump of the suryup flavor in the nickle and three pumps (the better deal :nod: )in the dime coke. Your choices were cherry (the biggest seller), vanilla, chocolate or lemon.

So I hear tell. :rolleyes2

Fangtasia 01-08-2014 12:58 AM

Now you've gone too far, young Fangtasia!

There are limits, you know.

Plain or BBQ chips on a sanger, perhaps even Sour Cream and Chives, but never chicken.

Pita 01-08-2014 07:48 PM

My newest obsession are wasabi peas. I LOVE them so much!!!! Just don't put to many in your mouth at once or there will be pain involved. :nod:

I also have a deep love for my friend's homemade habanero pepper jelly on my ham sandwiches. I tame it down with mayo. :D

BIBI 01-08-2014 08:07 PM

french fry butty as my mom used to call them...........sometimes with a slice of bacon

so bad for you but so good :faint:

Oldfart 01-08-2014 09:49 PM

Chip butty.

Either would do. They're both pretty cheesy.

I made pepper jelly as the holiday gift for many of my friends this year. 2 versions- mild and nose tingling

fresh not frozen french fries(best cooked in good old lard) on two pieces of buttered bread, salt and pepper to your taste and enjoy the butter running down your hands as you chow down.....sooooo bad but so damn good.

yep....chip butty rocks

Lilith 01-09-2014 09:46 PM

Seriously? A french fry and butter sandwich? And I thought us southerners had interesting food traditions.

Oldfart 01-09-2014 10:24 PM

It's right through the old British Empire.

Hot fries (must be very hot) on a thickly buttered (must be real butter) bread roll or sandwich.

Salt, pepper, tomato sauce (ketchup may be used if you have no tomato sauce).

The roll holds in the butter better.

BIBI 01-09-2014 11:06 PM

I have a notion that tomorrow night might be chip butty night!

Ah ... I remember those good ol' days. Remember them well! :)

... er ... wait ... am I giving away my age? :boohoo: ... ahem ... :)

maybe my mom told me about them. :D

Lilith 01-10-2014 07:48 AM

I worked at a restaurant in my teens and the older lady waitress there used to make me chocolate cokes.

I have had a soda-stream carbonator for a long time. I have finally found a soda-stream syrup which isn't heavily loaded with plastic sugar. One teaspoon of Ginger Beer syrup in a half pint glass of carbonated/seltzer/soda water.

My left arm started tingling just reading this.

But damn it sounds delicious.

Oldfart 01-11-2014 08:39 PM

It was simple food, from a time when meat was rationed harder than butter. Fill the guts and all is good.

I can just remember my dad having bread and dripping as an indulgence. For those of you in camp vegetable oil, roasts and baked vegetables used to be cooked in animal fat. This was reclaimed into a pot for reuse (who recycles canola or olive oil?). A significant amount of the flavoursome tiny bits floated to the surface of the dripping and after the dripping had cooled, the top scrapings became an irresistable bread topping.

dicksbro 01-12-2014 03:25 AM

Kalter Hund (Cold Dog) ... a German layered cake alternating between layers of chocolate and vanilla wafers (we like them flavored with rum). DELICIOUS!

Usually have it as a holiday treat ... very, very rich ... and very, very not low cal! :D

In the south every one saves bacon drippings. At all times peeps usually have an old coffee can filled with bacon fat either on the stove top or in the fridge.

WildIrish 01-13-2014 10:59 AM

My mother has a can of drippings too.

And I remember the episode of Everyone Loves Raymond when Marie was pissed at Frank for throwing away the jar of drippings she'd been accumulating from all the best cuts of meats over the years.
