Pass the butter. This is interesting

[Zytek_Fan]

margarine looks like petroleum jelly before it is coloured. and a week after i visited the factory, the soles of my shoes rotted off.

Really?

[clutch-monkey]

yeah, its pretty disgusting looking stuff before they colour it. and the chemicals they use that were present on the floor pretty much rotted my shoes.
i won't even start on chiko rolls.

[SLY-PSI]

I knew there was something fishy going on with that stuff....

Lol chicko rolls, anything that comes from a bainmarie is suspicious to me...

ANY oils will take out synthetic soles.
Why do you think guys in workshops wear work boots ??

This is one of those interesting but irrelevant facts on margarine. It doesn't mean it hurts you. After all if I drop my newspaper in a puddle of water it's ruined, doesn't mean water damages ME

I think it is another one of those things stating unnatural things are bad for you

Deadly Nightshade is a natural plant.
Cynide is "natural".
Being trampled by a herd of stampeding elephants is "natural".

Plasma is "man made" from blood.
Insulin is "man made" using genetic engineering molecular biology techniques.

I never liked margarine. I'm pretty interested in cooking and I know the good stuff from the bad stuff. You can try cooking margarine the same way as butter but it will never come up with the same flavor.

I always use butter for cooking because it makes things taste better

probably becuase it scorches too easily, same with low fat butter, i tried it once, and flour/sugar/ any dry additive wont blend properly reuslting in a lumpy sauce or since i tried it also with bananas foster, a big mess of melted brown sugar with what is essentially clarified butter on top, yuck, so basically the lesson is, full fat butter

Wow. Interesting.

or at least NOT he "easy spread squirted into a tub" marg.
You need to watch temps but baked many cakes and sauces using marg yuo ahve to adjust to suit.
Dut I do MUCH prefer the taste of butter.

yeah baking you can just substitute it and adjust, but sauces and bananas foster arent baked

if youd like i can tell you how to make bananas foster, its basically the best thing bananas have ever been in, its incredible

I've been served that in a NO restaurant.
Very spectaculr if it's the same thing - I think it is.
A caramelised sauce with bananas and flaming banana liquer and rum ?
Some story of voodoo dust I think when they threw cinnamon into the flames.

is it that, lovely flavours and VERY sepactcular.
If you've got a full recipe please post or send it as I'm up for doing it as my mouth is watering at the memory of the flavour
If tisis NOT it, then post the ercipe anyway!!!!!

Only "Stork" marg in the UK I've ever found suitable for caramelizing.

and water is one molecule away from being a very combustable gas...

no, on its own you have Hydrogen, which is explosive, and Oxygen, which contains fuel for fires, and what do we do? Spray it on Naked Flames!

your talking about brennan's, yes? if not it was a cheap copy


yeah the 'voodoo dust' is just cinnamon being thrown into the flame, it sparks orange,


ok the recipe is pretty simple, tastes great, MUST be served over ice cream and will impress your friends:

-1/2 cup of butter
-1 cup packed brown sugar
-6 Tbsp light or dark rum (i use dark it has a better flavour)
-4 ripe bananas, sliced however you like, i usualy do hlaves lengthwise and then quarter those
-1/2Tsp ground cinamon
-4 scoops vanilla ice cream

melt the butter and brown suagr and 2Tbsp rum, once its melted add bananas, simmer for a minute, pour in remaining rum, tilt pan towards flame (easier to use a kitchen torch or LONG match) this is where you sprinkle in the cinamon on the flame, then if you want more cinamon add it after the flame dies, once flames die, spoon over ice cream


voila, takes about 5 minutes and its one of my favorite things to make
