Rum

[MacFall]

I've been cooking a lot recently, and I've come to the conclusion that there is absolutely NOTHING that the addition of a little bit of rum (or a lot) can't improve. Everything from fish to ice cream to salad dressing - it all benefits from a bit of rum.

Of course, two cups of it in a few hours imbibed directly rather than as ingredients in a recipe may result in inane thread postings. But that does nothing to disprove the utility of it as a cooking ingredient.

I don't drink alcohol. You can have all the rum for yourself

There's a place here in SF that has wacky ice cream flavors, and one of the more famous ones if called "Secret Breakfast". It's basically just vanilla ice cream flavored with rum and mixed with corn flakes. And it's the best. thing. EVER. Sooo delicious!!

It doesn't have enough to really effect your senses... it's just for the taste. Which is good.

Why would it give you a Scottish accent? Rum originated from the Caribbean LOL It is good in some recipes.

Scotch might give you a Scottish accent if you drank it.

"No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You burned all the food, the shade... the rum!"

"Yes, the rum is gone."

"Why is the rum gone? "

"One: because it is a *vile* drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me; do you think there is even the slightest chance they wont see it?"

"But why is the rum gone? "

"mark my words, give it an hour, maybe two, keep a weather eye out and there will be white sails on that horizon."


I love rum. Rum and Rootbeer, heavenly devine.

Mmmmmmm rum. Having fresh Mount Gay Rum while I was in Barbados.... I understood why Captain Jack Sparrow was always drunk. Caribbean rum is amazing.

I haven't cooked with rum before, but Bailey's is the most important ingredient for good cake icing. Seriously. It's the best thing ever.

I have to admit. When I saw this thread I thought you were going to ask, "why is the rum gone???"

My mom makes an awesome rum cake every Christmas.

I'm not familiar with all of this rumming of food. I live in beer land and they add beer to everything instead.

I especially love Rum infused cakes.
