I ran across the following recipe in a debate about what was good about the (American) south:

quote:
Ingredients:
2 Glasses
2 oz Jack Daniels (more is acceptable)
12 oz Coca-Cola
ice

Directions:
Place sufficient ice into both glasses.
Pour the Jack Daniels into the first glass.
Pour the Coca Cola into the second glass.
Hand glass containing Coca Cola to a child and tell him to go away.
Sip away at the glass containing Jack Daniels.
This recipe works equally well with Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sprite, 7-Up, and Root Beer.

Works for me, though I think I'd substitute brandy for the JD (bourbon never appealed to me).

Ingredients:

McCain 5 minute Superfries
1 can Heinz Beef Gravy
Mozzarella cheese

Take McCain 5 minute Superfries and place in oven at 400�F. Take out pot and place gravy in put. Heat gravy at medium. Cut mozzarella cheese into small cubes.

When gravy reaches sufficient warmth, place cheese in gravy. Remove fries from oven.

Once the cheese has melted in the gravy, pour gravy/cheese mix over fries. And now you have poutine

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

Equal parts Jim Beam, 7-Up, Scotch.

Romulan Ale
2 quarts Electric Blue Kool Aid,
1 cup Sprite,

You'll need the following:
1 C water 1 C sugar
4 large eggs 2 C dried fruit
1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt
1 C brown sugar lemon juice
1 C nuts 1 FULL bottle of your favorite whiskey

Sample the whiskey to check for quality.
Take a large bowl. Check the whiskey again to be sure that it is of the highest quality.
Pour 1 level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer; beat 1 C of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add 1 tsp sugar and beat again. Make sure the whiskey is still OK. Cry another tup. Turn off the mixer.
Break two legs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt. Or something. Who cares. Check the whiskey. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of the window. Check the whiskey again.

To make the Romulan ale extra potent (and frightening-looking) substitute everclear (180 proof grain alcohol) for the "wodka"! Crush a generous amount of dry ice and put it in the punch bowl. Take care not to ingest any of the dry ice. It adds a dramatic touch, and refreshes the carbonation of the beverage.

Interesting idea. If I still drank, I'd try it.

The dry ice works pretty well with nonalcoholic beverages as well. You don't even have to use carbonated ingredients, because the dry ice will do the carbonation for you.

Seriously, folks! Playing with fire is a good comparison. Exercise extreme caution when playing with dry ice -- it could save you a trip to the emergency room.

Ahh, you asked. This is an american thing I read about in a car magazine. An aussie was driving around the USA from state to state checking out the current level of american motoring and he came across this:

HOT BROWN

* Take 5 slabs of meat - beef, pork, chicken, turkey, ham
* bbq them till ready
* stack the 5 slabs
* wrap in bacon
* deep fry
* place in large, deep plate
* take 2.2lb of cheese
* place on plate around meat (wrapped in more meat, dripping in fat) insert into oven till cheese is melted.

EAT. DIE, of heart disease.

Anyway the bloke said he ate 2 bites and had experienced enough.

So there you go folks. Try a hot brown some day.

Are you sure it's an American dish? If it is, I'll bet it's southern cooking -- they think grease is a whole food group by itself. It sounds almost like a meat poutine.

It is a texan thing as I understand it.
