Ice cream that's put out to pasture

2006-07-15T12:49:00.000-07:00

Ice cream that's put out to pasture:

What happens when Ben & Jerry's flavors are no longer popular? They're, ahem, cream-ated.

Welcome to Ben & Jerry's flavor graveyard. Each year, the Vermont company creates as many as 12 new flavors. It's what customers have come to expect since Cherry Garcia was introduced to the world in 1987. But for every Neapolitan Dynamite and Vermonty Python that gets added to the lineup, a Lemon Peppermint Carob Chip or Ice Tea with Ginseng must be retired.

Flavored KitKats flop in Britain: "For the summer months, it launched strawberries and cream, passion fruit and mango and even red berry versions. In the winter came 'Christmas pudding' and tiramisu, which contained real wine and marscapone. Even though Britons never fully embraced the Atkins diet craze, the company launched a low-carb version.

The experiments flopped."

The frightening list gones on and on ...

Giordano Bros. - Pittsburgh-style

2006-05-10T14:48:00.000-07:00

Giordano Bros.: "The slaw is light, crispy, and a bit zippy. It's olive oil, vinegar and black pepper, no mayo here. The fries are fresh cut, fresh fried, and fresh tasty. The meat is grilled with provolone cheese on top which melts up oh so nice. The topper and bottomer is the Italian bread, oh so soft."

What's an all-in-one? Soft white Italian bread, fresh cut and fried french fries (yes, fries), peppery oil-and-vinegar cole slaw, grilled sandwich meat, and cheese.

Dr Pepper Berries & Cream combines the one of a kind flavor of Dr Pepper with the smooth indulgent taste of cream and a refreshing hint of berry.

It even had some interesting chefs: "Celebrity Cooking Showdown finds all-star chefs Wolfgang Puck, Cat Cora and Govind Armstrong"

Completely missed that one!

William Conway: "Astute readers of this blog will no doubt know of my affection for Good Eats. Long story short, it's the best program on television since the A-team.

So you can imagine my surprise when I received an e-mail from a friend of mine asking if I'd like to be an extra on an upcoming episode.

Alton and the crew seem to write the details of the show as they go along. He had a script, but once he got a look at the 9 or so extras the scene just sort of unfolded from there."

How much fun! We certainly consume Good Eats from the DVR quickly. I finallly caught Shell Game IV and there certainly were a motley crew of extras in a scene.

Hot Dog!

2006-04-09T18:22:00.000-07:00

The ole DVR saith that it's time for a Hot Dog! The box disgorged Secret Life of... Hot Dogs, Unwrapped : Hot Dogs, and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, South Beach.

Guess it's time to visit the friendly neighborhood sausage shack!

Marshmallow Peeps are yuckky, even if you make them yourself, make Turducken with them, take them adventuring, make them your minions, or just give them a decent burial (like on a easter bonnet), but whatever you do with them, take pix!

Dorset Naga

2006-04-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

Dorset Naga: an exceptionally hot variety that we developed from a Bangladeshi chilli known as Naga Morich. In 2005 we collected a sample of this chilli, and had it tested for heat by two laboratories in the USA. The result, measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), were astounding: taking an average of the two, Dorset Naga came in at 923,000 SHU.

To put this figure in context, the Guinness world record for the hottest chilli is currently held by Red Savina, which was once measured at 577,000 SHU"

Pringles

Got a short can of Pringles Loaded Baked Potato. Bleah. Should have gotten a regular one to compare it against. It tasted of gruel and old dairy.

They'd be more fun with printing on them ... like Trivial Pursuit questions!
