Fancy some BEER ON TOAST? Italy invents spreadable booze Italian foodies have invented a way for beer lovers to enjoy their favourite drink for breakfast - without the risk of being forced to attend those troublesome Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Chocolatier Napoleone and brewery Alta Quota, both based in the central Italian province of Rieti, have joined forces to create the world …
The trick, frank ly, is to add just enough sugar (I'm using agave), to force the yeast to produce enough alcohol to suicide, without making the final product sweet. Seems to be working ... Third year of production, may or may not go commercial with it next year.
Agree that large quantities of active yeasties in the human digestive tract is contraindicated. Been there, done that. Probably will again, at some point, tasting is important ... :-)
I have four Jersey cows and a small handful of Belted Galloways. They give me ~6 bits o'beef per year, between them. In return, I milk them, as appropriate. I do cheese, butter, sour cream, yogurt, etc. Waste not want not.
There is plenty I can't do. There is little I will not attempt. I am alive. Are you?
I have won the formula 1 grand prix eight years in a row, single handed, on my pushbike. I regularly weave my own yoghurt from my rare breed alpaca-donkey hybrid's earwax. I invented pretty much everything that is of use today and much that is not. During my time in the military I achieved the highest confirmed kill rate in history in three campaigns over five continents. I play the financial markets and have managed the Rothschild estate for four generations. I wrote most of the songs by the Beatles. I have twenty children, all of whom graduated with first class honours from the best universities in the country before their fifth birthdays. I have climbed twelve of the world's highest mountains, four of which I was responsible for discovering and charting. My spiritual teachings inspired the Dalai Lama to take up Buhddism. I don't like to brag. I'm alive. You're clearly not even registering on the "I'm alive" scale by _my_ standards, are you?
I'm not (lately) in the habit of having beer with breakfast, but if I don't have to share a road or programming project with you, why I should I care if you do?
This does sound a bit like the alcoholic ice cream in _The Best of Myles_, but that was intended to be comical.
1) Buy agar from the local health store.
2) Heat 1g agar + a cup of beer to boiling, to dissolve the agar.
3) Pour the agar into 1 L of your favorite beer.
4) Stir and put it in the fridge for an hour to set.
5) Profit!
Jellyshots are made the same way. You can use gelatine instead of agar, but it's not as firm & stable as agar.
