(How long <I>does</I> creme fraiche keep in the fridge??) Cream and buttermilk, on the other hand, are very easy to find.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1109351305345054522005-02-25T18:08:00.000+01:002005-02-25T18:08:00.000+01:00ejm,

Refrigerate to thicken further.<br /><br />It also works with 18% cream and even 10% - it just takes longer to set.<br /><br />Coolwhip is a disgrace and whoever invented it should have to spend all eternity eating coolwhip with green jello that has miniature coloured marshmallows and grated carrots floating in it (if you are a glutton for punishment, look up "ambrosia" to find a recipe for the marshmallow/carrot/jelly concoction).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1109245227224460832005-02-24T12:40:00.000+01:002005-02-24T12:40:00.000+01:00Isn't it disgusting?

I'm not a parent - yet - but there's no way I would feed my kids anything like this! (The kitty doesn't count - she only had a small bite)<br /><br />Esurient - yes, I think that is pretty Scandinavian in general. It's partly due to a very strong lobby from the farmers, trying to survive. But people in general are fairly health-conscious. The younger generations a bit less so, though.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1109212464216570522005-02-24T03:34:00.000+01:002005-02-24T03:34:00.000+01:00Great post Anne, I love the photo with the kitty. ...Great post Anne, I love the photo with the kitty.

It is just ...That is truly gross and quite bizarre! It is just so typical of so many American recipes I see on the internet which make me cringe...and think 'hello?? real food? Real ingredients?? Do you not have access to any??'<br />I was in Denmark last year and I noticed how much they were into organic and biodynamic foods, which impressed me; is this a all-encomapssing Scandinavian feeling? <br />I've never tried Cool Whip, but it sounds vile. We have whipped cream in a can here, but I don't think I've tried it since I was a kid at birthday parties...horrid stuff!Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724833882784937754noreply@blogger.com
