Been drinking it in the UK for most of my 37 years !!!

Used to be a plain old pick me up for years (if you ever had to go into
hospital or indeed went visiting, you were either given or giving a bottle).

Nowadays it is used by sportsmen etc for exactly what you have described.

Speaking of sugar...

I just returned from Trinidad (on a mission trip to build a church in Toco).
While working in the 95 degree sun all day we often walked up to the corner
store and bought water and cokes (the coca cola was much sweeter there than
in the US, but also less carbonated).  What we also found was a product
called Lucozade (http://www.lucozade.com/).  This was a sport drink
essentially made of glucose syrup.  From their website - "When you drink it,
the glucose gets rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and gives you a
quick burst of energy.  Glucose is the natural preferred fuel for the body
becuase of the speed with which it can be digested and absorbed.  Once
absorbed it is a readily available source of fuel, whic all cells of the
body can utilise."

 Kimberley,

 I'd be surprised if you can get "real" raw sugar in stores.

 When I was in the U.S. Peace Corps in Belize in the mid
 '70s, raw sugar was readily available, since sugar was a
 primary export from that beautiful little country.  If you
 let a couple of pounds of raw sugar sit in a brown paper bag
 for a day or two, the molasses would settle to the bottom
 and puddle - a jar, shaken occasionally, was a better
 storage option.

 It was delicious!  There's nothing quite like a peanut
 butter and raw sugar sandwich!  Ironically, the Belizians
 preferred refined, white sugar, since it was considered more
 "upscale" than the raw sugar.

 BTW, other advantages to living in a sugar-exporting country
 included very cheap soft drinks and rum!...Oh, and Reggae!
 ;-)

 Hey, found out that muscavado sugar is raw sugar.  Hopefully
 I can find it in the stores.  If not I am going to Second

Of course, most American milk chocolate has a high wax content, which is why

 Reuters Monday, March 19, 2001
   
   Chocolate-Coated Bugs Are Latest Treat
   
   LONDON (Reuters) - Ants, crickets and scorpions, baked, coated
   in chocolate and promoted as a high-protein snack, are proving
   popular among peckish Londoners.
   
   Designer Todd Dalton, who trained as a chef in Louisiana and
   acquired a taste for cooked insects on his travels in Asia and
   central America, says he has sold 5,000 chocolate-coated bugs
   since he began marketing them in December.
   
   "They are very high in protein and very low in fat. They have a
   higher percentage of protein than any meat or fish that we
   commonly eat," he told Reuters.
   
   The creepy-crawly chocs sell for between three and 3.50 pounds
   ($4.30-$5.00) at upmarket London stores such as Selfridges and
   the Conran Shop and will soon be appearingin shops in Munich
   and Zurich.

ermI don't know how this travels. 

Like a sugary candy which is extremely hard, you do have candy canes in the
States for Christmas trees etc ??
Sort of thicker, straighter version and normally minty in the UK - very
popular at Seaside resorts where the sweet is manufactured with the name of
the resort printed all the way through the middle. Oh God - this is sounding
more weird, the more I try and describe it.
 
Any other Brits who have lived/worked extensively in the States care to
offer a better translation ??

They do sweets over here - kind of like hard boiled sweets - or the famous
British Rock - which is basically a long stick of hard sweet. The rhubarb
sort is more commonly known to me in the form of a "Rhubarb  Custard"
flavoured sweet (small hard boiled kind of things :)

Lucozade was another of my favourites when I was younger, but as Lee pointed
out - I only EVER drink it now as an aid when I am flat on my back in bed
ill! Sports people do use it as an energy giving drink - but the only sport
I subscribe to is golf:)

  Kimberley,
 
  I'd be surprised if you can get "real" raw sugar in stores.
 
  When I was in the U.S. Peace Corps in Belize in the mid
  '70s, raw sugar was readily available, since sugar was a
  primary export from that beautiful little country.  If you
  let a couple of pounds of raw sugar sit in a brown paper bag
  for a day or two, the molasses would settle to the bottom
  and puddle - a jar, shaken occasionally, was a better
  storage option.
 
  It was delicious!  There's nothing quite like a peanut
  butter and raw sugar sandwich!  Ironically, the Belizians
  preferred refined, white sugar, since it was considered more
  "upscale" than the raw sugar.
 
  BTW, other advantages to living in a sugar-exporting country
  included very cheap soft drinks and rum!...Oh, and Reggae!
  ;-)

Sorry Lee, it looks like Rachel is too much of a chocoholic to be up on her
hard candy nomenclature.  In the US its refered to as Rock candy, basically
colored, flavored, crystaline sugar (sucrose, not glucose) available in
various shapes and sizes though I haven't seen much of it lately. [It's
probably gone the way of ribbon candy and other treats of yesteryear...
(Norman Rockwell moment).] The most common US seaside confection is
Saltwater taffy, or cotton candy.

Like a sugary candy which is extremely hard, you do have candy canes in the
States for Christmas trees etc ??
Sort of thicker, straighter version and normally minty in the UK - very
popular at Seaside resorts where the sweet is manufactured with the name of
the resort printed all the way through the middle. Oh God - this is sounding
more weird, the more I try and describe it.

Speaking of sugar...

I just returned from Trinidad (on a mission trip to build a church in 
Toco).
While working in the 95 degree sun all day we often walked up to the corner
store and bought water and cokes (the coca cola was much sweeter there than
in the US, but also less carbonated).  What we also found was a product
called Lucozade (http://www.lucozade.com/).  This was a sport drink
essentially made of glucose syrup.  From their website - "When you drink 
it,
the glucose gets rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and gives you a
quick burst of energy.  Glucose is the natural preferred fuel for the body
becuase of the speed with which it can be digested and absorbed.  Once
absorbed it is a readily available source of fuel, whic all cells of the
body can utilise."

Chocolate-Coated Bugs Are Latest Treat

LONDON (Reuters) - Ants, crickets and scorpions, baked, coated
in chocolate and promoted as a high-protein snack, are proving
popular among peckish Londoners.

Designer Todd Dalton, who trained as a chef in Louisiana and
acquired a taste for cooked insects on his travels in Asia and
central America, says he has sold 5,000 chocolate-coated bugs
since he began marketing them in December.

"They are very high in protein and very low in fat. They have a
higher percentage of protein than any meat or fish that we
commonly eat," he told Reuters.

The creepy-crawly chocs sell for between three and 3.50 pounds
($4.30-$5.00) at upmarket London stores such as Selfridges and
the Conran Shop and will soon be appearingin shops in Munich
and Zurich.

Well, ants have a high acidity in their body (mostly citric acid), so when
you boil them, all that fluid mixed with the water to give it a tart, lemony
type taste...one of those interesting tidbits I picked up in the past when I
was in survival instructor training (like many others on this list, I wasn't
always a dba).   :)

Now that's a waste...you're supposed to boil the ants and then roll them up
in chocolate.  Then you can add sugar to the water you boiled them in and be
able to serve "lemonade" with the chocolate covered ants (make sure they're
carpenter ants and not fire ants!).   :)

Chocolate-Coated Bugs Are Latest Treat

LONDON (Reuters) - Ants, crickets and scorpions, baked, coated
in chocolate and promoted as a high-protein snack, are proving
popular among peckish Londoners.

Designer Todd Dalton, who trained as a chef in Louisiana and
acquired a taste for cooked insects on his travels in Asia and
central America, says he has sold 5,000 chocolate-coated bugs
since he began marketing them in December.

"They are very high in protein and very low in fat. They have a
higher percentage of protein than any meat or fish that we
commonly eat," he told Reuters.

The creepy-crawly chocs sell for between three and 3.50 pounds
($4.30-$5.00) at upmarket London stores such as Selfridges and
the Conran Shop and will soon be appearingin shops in Munich
and Zurich.

Speaking of sugar...

I just returned from Trinidad (on a mission trip to build a church in Toco).
While working in the 95 degree sun all day we often walked up to the corner
store and bought water and cokes (the coca cola was much sweeter there than
in the US, but also less carbonated).  What we also found was a product
called Lucozade (http://www.lucozade.com/).  This was a sport drink
essentially made of glucose syrup.  From their website - "When you drink it,
the glucose gets rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and gives you a
quick burst of energy.  Glucose is the natural preferred fuel for the body
becuase of the speed with which it can be digested and absorbed.  Once
absorbed it is a readily available source of fuel, whic all cells of the
body can utilise."

 Kimberley,

 I'd be surprised if you can get "real" raw sugar in stores.

 When I was in the U.S. Peace Corps in Belize in the mid
 '70s, raw sugar was readily available, since sugar was a
 primary export from that beautiful little country.  If you
 let a couple of pounds of raw sugar sit in a brown paper bag
 for a day or two, the molasses would settle to the bottom
 and puddle - a jar, shaken occasionally, was a better
 storage option.

 It was delicious!  There's nothing quite like a peanut
 butter and raw sugar sandwich!  Ironically, the Belizians
 preferred refined, white sugar, since it was considered more
 "upscale" than the raw sugar.

 BTW, other advantages to living in a sugar-exporting country
 included very cheap soft drinks and rum!...Oh, and Reggae!
 ;-)

  OK you chocaholics try this on for size:
  
Reuters Monday, March 19, 2001
  
  Chocolate-Coated Bugs Are Latest Treat
  
  LONDON (Reuters) - Ants, crickets and scorpions, baked, coated
  in chocolate and promoted as a high-protein snack, are proving
  popular among peckish Londoners.
  
  Designer Todd Dalton, who trained as a chef in Louisiana and
  acquired a taste for cooked insects on his travels in Asia and
  central America, says he has sold 5,000 chocolate-coated bugs
  since he began marketing them in December.
  
  "They are very high in protein and very low in fat. They have a
  higher percentage of protein than any meat or fish that we
  commonly eat," he told Reuters.
  
  The creepy-crawly chocs sell for between three and 3.50 pounds
  ($4.30-$5.00) at upmarket London stores such as Selfridges and
  the Conran Shop and will soon be appearingin shops in Munich
  and Zurich.

RE: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe

2001-03-17 Thread Mark Leith

LOL All this over a recipe huh? To start Muscavado sugar IS brown sugar -
but it is a softer sugar, it kind of sticks together unlike normal brown
sugar. Eggs are LARGE sized eggs - somehow I don't think that America has
jumbo sized chickens that lay eggs the size of an Ostrich's:) Just a regular
LARGE egg..

Here goes again:

8oz soft unsalted butter
13oz dark muscovado sugar
2 large eggs - beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2oz best dark chocolate - melted
7oz plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate  of soda
1 Cup boiling water

23*13*7cm loaf tin (9" loaf tin)

Preheat the oven to 375f, put in a baking sheet case of gooey
sticky drips later;) and grease and line the loaf tin. The lining is
important  as this is a very damp cake: use parchment, Bake-O-Glide or one
of those loaf-tin-shaped paper cases.

Cream the butter and sugar, either with a wooden spoon or an electric hand
held mixer, then add the eggs and vanilla, beating in well. Next fold in the
melted and now slightly cooled chocolate, taking care to blend well, but
being careful not to over beat. You want the ingredients combined: you DON'T
want a light airy  mass. Then gently add the flour, to which you've added
the bicarb, alternately spoon by spoon, with the boiling water until you
have a smooth and fairly liquid batter. Pour into the lined loaf tin and
bake for 30 mins. turn the oven down to 325f and continue to cook
for another 15 mins. The cake will still be a bit squidgy inside, so an
inserted cake-tester or skewer won't come out completely clean.

Place the loaf tin on a rack, and leave to get completely cold (if you can
resist it G) before turning it out. (The *Author* recommends leaving it
for a day - hhuummm you won't get that far I can guarantee). Don't worry if
it sinks in the middle:  indeed it WILL do so because its such a dense and
damp cake.

I will endeavour to post any new recipes in both American and English! I'm
just waiting for MI6 to come and beast me now :)

Enjoy!

on second thought yes, it might very well mean something different.

large, extra-large, jumbo? what size eggs? are they sized the same here and
there? and yes, the size of the egg makes a differnce in baking.

baking, unlike cooking, tends to need very precise measurements.

I'll agree that a teaspoon is a teaspoon :)

RE: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe

2001-03-16 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

What's muscovado sugar?  It sounds like sugar from an avocado grown in Moscow.  My 
wife, who hails from Bristol. knew it was a brown sugar, but didn't know what made it 
different froom other brown sugars.  She didn't think it was simply a brand name.

We have one child so cutting the cake into three pieces works well  for us, but for 
those with only one nearest and dearest three pieces of such a cake and two people 
might cause a fracas.

I wouldn't complain too much about the metric measures.  A law was passed barring the 
use of imperial ones.  MI6 has propably intercepted his email and is arranging to put 
scofflaw Mark away for a good while.

Re: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe

on second thought yes, it might very well mean something different.

large, extra-large, jumbo? what size eggs? are they sized the same here and 
there? and yes, the size of the egg makes a differnce in baking.

baking, unlike cooking, tends to need very precise measurements.

I'll agree that a teaspoon is a teaspoon :)

Are you saying 2 eggs means something different in England? ;)

not one of those measurements (especially not "gas mark 5") will work for

Well here goes then - Good job I went and got it just in case at lunch 
huh
:0) I just knew that SOMEBODY would have to have a chocolate fetish on 
this
list!!

You guys are gonna love this one, it is soft  moist - a little like the
good old American brownie, but it is essentially a Loaf Cake.

Ingredients:

225g soft unsalted butter
375g dark muscovado sugar
2 large eggs - beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g best dark chocolate - melted
200g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate  of soda
250ml boiling water

23*13*7cm loaf tin

Preheat the oven to 190c/gas mark 5, put in a baking sheet case of gooey
sticky drips later;) and grease and line the loaf tin. The lining is
important  as this is a very damp cake: use parchment, Bake-O-Glide or 
one
of those loaf-tin-shaped paper cases.

Cream the butter and sugar, either with a wooden spoon or an electric 
hand
held mixer, then add the eggs and vanilla, beating in well. Next fold in 
the
melted and now slightly cooled chocolate, taking care to blend well, but
being careful not to over beat. You want the ingredients combined: you 
DON'T
want a light airy  mass. Then gently add the flour, to which you've added
the bicarb, alternately spoon by spoon, with the boiling water until you
have a smooth and fairly liquid batter. Pour into the lined loaf tin and
bake for 30 mins. turn the oven down to 170c/gas mark 3 and continue to 
cook
for another 15 mins. The cake will still be a bit squidgy inside, so an
inserted cake-tester or skewer won't come out completely clean.

Place the loaf tin on a rack, and leave to get completely cold (if you 
can
resist it G) before turning it out. (The *Author* recommends leaving it
for a day - hhuummm you won't get that far I can guarantee). Don't worry 
if
it sinks in the middle:  indeed it WILL do so because its such a dense 
and
damp cake.

She goes on to say it makes 8-10 slices. My advice is share it with you
nearest and dearest only and cut it in to about 3! :0)

There you go Friday Recipe has returned, now who's turn is it next week?
