Title: Black Pudding Flavoured Ice Cream??
Post by: Grumpmeister on October 29, 2007, 01:04:08 PM
I'll admit that I like ice cream and that I've tried a lot of different flavours but Black Pudding? Somehow I think I'll be giving that one a miss  noooo:

Quote
An ice cream company has unveiled its latest mouth watering flavour - made with black pudding.
Dowson's Dairies Ltd of Clayton-le-Dale, Blackburn, Lancs, will serve it next month at the annual Black Pudding Festival in Bacup.

"Most people think we are a bit wacky but with the advent of bacon and egg flavour down south, it shows there is a market," said John Gardner of Dowson's.

The ice cream has small pieces of black pudding like chocolate chip ice cream.

'Unlikely ingredients'

Mr Gardner said the idea for the new flavour came from Master Chef Tom Bridge.

"Chefs tend to go off on their own tangents but unlikely ingredients can taste very good," he said.

The company had experimented adding black puddings to their basic ice cream mix but found a base with mustard added made a better flavour.

"The pieces of black pudding make it look like the chips in chocolate chip ice cream," said Mr Gardner.

He said in keeping with its policy of using local produce it has teamed up with The Real Lancashire Black Pudding Co which is hosting next month's festival.

No need to be shy, just come straight out and scrounge. evil:

I suppose it is as good a time as any to break the running joke, but we decided last year that 'Terkees' were probably not worth the trouble, re-inforced by the bird-flu business, so sorry and all that, but you will have to queue at Iceland like the rest of us.

It was only a minor sideline and a bit of fun really.

Now oil-seed rape for biofuels, that's on the up.  cloud9:

Good this year, better next. whistle:

Someone was doing a cheese with marmite running through it a couple of years ago. Bloody gorgeous it was, but can't find it anymore. sad32:

It is a Jewish tradition to name the child after the place of conception.

Or so my old school chum, Stairwell Cohen, told me.

Indeed. It's a common idea - the native American (can I say Indians?) have a similar system where the new born is named after the first thing seen by the proud father on leaving the teepee. At least, that's what I'm told by my old friend 'Two Dogs Shagging'.

Mrs S makes her own ice-cream from time to time (If I am too slow to stop her that is).
Her favourite, which I admit I refuse to even try, is "Brown Bread Ice Cream" and YES one of the ingredients is a lump of Hovis.

Just looking at it being made was enough for me. sick2:

Isn't 'Brown Bread' rhyming slang? angel1
