Subj : Balsamic vinegar To : Dale Shipp From : Ruth Haffly Date : Mon Jun 05 2023 13:43:59 Hi Dale, BC> I was offline to go on a three week walkabout. I was exposed to many BC> culinary delights, the most novel of which was the idea of topping BC> vanilla icecream with basalmic vinegar. DD> Where did you find that treat? I thought that vinegar on I scream was DD> a British thing. DS> Balsamic vinegar is not like other vinegars. It has a quite different DS> flavor profile. I would not have thought of that use, but can DS> understand it. It makes a good addition to a salad of tomatoes, mozz DS> cheese and basil. We got back on Thursday from a cruise/train/bus trip to Alaska. Spent 2 nights in Fairbanks, ate at the hotel pub a couple of times and the hotel restaurant--very similar menus, both with high (Alaska) prices. The first afternoon, for lunch, I didn't want a lot to eat so I ordered the (small) strawberry/feta/greens/candied pecans/bacon and craisins salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing. It was really good; Steve had it as part of his supper that night and we split one the next evening as part of supper. Definatly worth trying to recreate now that we're home. DD> Title: Balsamic Blueberries w/Vanilla Ice Cream DS> And then you went and found another example:-}} DS> Here is another example of its use. DS> We would make this using fresh basil if we had some. Can you not grow any on a window sill? It does look good.
