yep. it's a bit like cane sugar :: sweet & low. whipped cream in coffee is amazing; cool whip in coffee is sad.

I use them for a lemon vodka cream sauce recipe since i'll never drink enough vodka to justify buying more of it :shobon:

Other liquors however...

We have those in the states but they're mostly associated with 40-something housewives who need something to keep them from nipping into the mouthwash.

Do we? I only ever see them in the candy aisle at, like, World Market and those places. I know they're all over the place in Canada, though (my boyfriend says getting those as a kid was like getting black licorice).

They're pretty nice.

Wine Gums are tasty, but microwaved Wine Gums, horse meat, and mystery cubes of green goo?

Despite the name they're not alcoholic nor do they taste like the wine that's written on them :ssh:

Not quite, it's meant to go on dessert pastries, jello and puddings and the like. Trying to put it in other things you put whipped cream in will leave you disappointed.

Does anyone know why your body craves fatty salty abominations when you're hungover? I could google it but I prefer other goons to explain things to me like a child while they stroke my head

I think the main reason was that fatty and salty foods enhance water and nutrient retention and contain electrolytes, both things your hungover body craves when it's been dried out and mildly poisoned.

Salt when dissolved in water becomes electrolytes, actually. Na and Cl are both important electrolytes and what is salt? NaCl. Dehydration is way more than just water. Aside from that alcohol consumption leads to a reduction in B vitamins (yes, basically all of them) and greasy, fatty meat is a good place to get a lot of those. Alcohol also dehydrates you something fierce and that flushes a lot of water soluble vitamins out along with it. Potatoes also have a gently caress load of good nutrients so deep fried taters are of course another popular one.

It might also be association; bars tend to serve a lot of greasy, fatty things and deep fried everything because the grease coats your stomach and makes you get drunk more slowly. No, really. It doesn't affect your tolerance it just makes the alcohol hit your system more slowly as it gets absorbed out of your stomach at a lower rate. It lets them sell more booze. So of course when you think "booze" you associate it with "deep fried crap and greasy meat." When you think "bleh, I need to eat something I was drinking all night and I don't feel like doing much" one of the first things that creeps into your mind is deep fried easy things.

I thought maybe as well since it's convenient and some people see it as "comfort food", so naturally when they feel a bit poo poo they want it.

I get a craving for that kind of food after I recover from a migraine. My guess is that it what your brain wants after taking a beating.

Oh man, same. When I have a migraine the only think remotely palatable to me is plain Lays chips, and a spicy chicken burger meal from Wendy's which I don't ever eat otherwise. The Wendy's, anyways.
