The difference between

Yer! Jelly Belly! I thought that was funny when she gave me the box

I love all the flavours apart from the licorice, root beer, sizzling cinamin and bubble gum :vomit:

Anyone who hasnt had Jelly Belly Jelly beans are missing out on a lot! They even have watermellon flavour ! :shock:

It actually sounds utterly disguisting, but who am I to saythat when I havent even tryed it. It reminds me of thatdandelion and burdock drink. Im not keen on that either.

It actually sounds quite healthy? Is it?


It actually.... sorry

I don't know how healthy the soft drink is. I like it, though.Especially if it's used to make a Root Beer Float......a big tall glassfilled with root beer and then scoops ofice cream areadded....yummmmmmm!

That's so funny. I always imagine going to the UK to try different things.

I'd love to go to some of the pubs...I mean the real pubs, not thetouristy one. The ones like our "corner bars". I'd love to experiencethe difference of drink, eats, and patrons.

Root Beer Floats are pretty well known across the US of A. It's the same thing as an ice cream soda.....only using root beer.

Yep....some people think that's the best part.

Yes.
Actually a combonation of both. The ice cream gets all icy/crunchie on the outside. too.

Vanilla or chocolate are traditional, but you could use any flavor. Ilike to use coffee flavored ice cream....black raspberry is good, too.

Yum! that is the best part when the icecream gets all icy ohhhh yummo!

About the pancakes a while back...

Them pancakes you would find in the cake section in asupermarket. The pancakes that are more common in england arereally thin, and made from eggs and milk and stuff in a fryingpan. They taste much better than the ones on the bunnies head!

Do Americans make some sort of food in a frying pan with eggs and milk?that we call Pancakes, I dont know what you would call them if you didmake them.

Ingredients
For the pancake mixture:
110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
2 eggs
200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g/2oz butter

 

[cheryl]

Aww Jim vanilla is the best!

i love chocolate icecream but only with chocolate topping though



cheryl

 

[Linz_1987]

Oh also what is 'cup' ofsomething? Ive seen in american recipes eg ' 1 1/2 cups ofraisons' How much is a cup exactly? Because a cup here iswhat you drink out of and you can get them any size. So if weused cups for cooking we would get very wrong recipes!

 

[cheryl]

Ohh pancakes with butter and sugar and lemon juice on top mmmmmm!!!

Crepes...maybe? The plain kind.....not the ones with stuff rolled up in them (ei; fruit, cheese, or savory)

Or German pancakes....made verrrry thin, topped with whipped butter, lemon sauce, and powdered sugar.
