Hot smoked salmon?
What a revolting idea. I can understand having smoked salmon on hot toast or toasted bagel, but the salmon itself should be cold.

It's very tasty, rather like bacon.
Raw it's too rubbery and greasy for me.

Salmon looks like fish celery to me

This makes little sense to me.

Nice in soups, but a total waste in a Bloody Mary?

Interesting perspective
what do you reckon vanilla vodka, baileys and milk would taste like as a cocktail?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:11, Reply)

I have grave reservations about mixing Baileys with any other alcohol
as I've had some awful shooters were the Baileys curdles while you drink it. I'm not sure if this is all alcohol or just some though.

Provided it doesn't curdle I see nothing wrong with the idea of said cocktail, though I would probably add some vanilla seeds to make it more like a lovely vanilla milkshake.

If you're fast at mixing it there is generally no problem
not sure if I have any vanilla seeds, and I doubt that vanilla essence or vanilla sugar would have the same effect
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:21, Reply)

A drop of essence should work
but don't use much as it overpowers cakes, so I reckon it would be rough in a cocktail if you used more than a tiny dash.

Sounds good to me
I might have one later.

i was stropping around tesco at about 2am for essentials on the way home from work last night
and i found a NEW ice-cream (that chok-a-blok brand) which is peanut butter and chocolate ice creams swirled together, stuffed full of chocolate covered peanuts AND chocolate drops AND caramel sauce.

i would have come on the spot, but i still had a 20 min walk home, so i had to leave him in the freezer. but the point is... imagine THAT in a cocktail with vodka!!! x

It sounds delicious
but not worth dying for (allergic to peanuts) haha.

See that's willpower. I'd probably have eaten it on the way home so no melty problem

I reckon the Rocky Road one might even challenge Phish Food as the greatest Ice Cream

Gold Digger Dynamite looks nice
I like Baileys icecream
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:33, Reply)

you both make good sense
but i have to go for "billionaire's shortbread" if the peanuts are off the table...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:39, Reply)

Sounds too peanutty for me.
But then, I like my cocktails made with lime vodka and sugar and not much else.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:27, Reply)

Sorry, missed a comma
should be lime, vodka and sugar. Also mint.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:28, Reply)

This is an excellent choice

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:32, Reply)

i would not dispute lime vodka
i love flavoured vodka, me.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:40, Reply)

I can't really see the point TBH.
Unless it's utterly revolting studnet union vodka I could never profess to be able to tell the difference between any brand of vodka and I'd never drink it neat anyway, so since I like it flavoured with lime juice and mint anyway there seems little point in getting pre flavoured vodka.

I feel the same about gin. I hate bars when you order a G&T and they ask which brand. My response is always "the cheapest". Nobody can tell the difference between gins and anyone who claims to be able to is a liar.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:45, Reply)

I can taste the difference between gins
but not between ones in the same price range
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 17:48, Reply)

I don't know
I got given a bottle of Polish Buffalo grass vodka, and it was damned nice. Very smooth taste and could be drunk neat.
