I am wondering what people have to drink when they eat birthday cake
with icing. The only things I can tolerate is milk, coffee or water. Soft drinks do not taste good, nor does iced tea or hot chocolate. Mixed drinks, beer and wine also seem like a poor choice. Tom |

Depends on what kind of cake and frosting comprise the birthday cake. A lemony cake would go well with some kind of lemon soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up). It would also go all right with iced tea. A chocolate cake (or yellow cake with chocolate frosting) would go well with coffee, milk, orange soda (or orange-flavored fruit punch), or a White Russian. A banana cake would go well with a piña colada, chocolate milk, or rum & coke. Did you have some specific cake and icing in mind? Bob |

If the cake has cream and/or custard, then Asti is the perfect pairing. And if the cake has good "deepness" of tastes, then even a raisin wine would do well, I'm thinking of Moscato di Pantelleria, Passito di Pantelleria but also raisin wines from the north, alas harder to find, as Loazzolo. -- Vilco Mai guardare Trailer park Boys senza qualcosa da bere a portata di mano |

Oh, if it is chocolate cake, then the "ice cold whole milk" is for sure, and I wouldn't eat the cake without it. I've never been in a nuthouse, but it's nice to know that they serve the patients milk. Cookies should also be served with milk and coffee as choices, but especially milk. Anyone who thinks that milk is unsuitable for adults (except those who are intolerant or low-carbing) is nuts. > Lynn in Fargo --Bryan |

A cup of good strong coffe with a big chunk of hard chocolate melted in is is an acceptable substitute for the Abulita (Mexican chocolate drink). Of course, just to saty topical, a bit of port with the chocolate is very nice also ![]() -- Mr. Joseph Littleshoes Esq. Domine, dirige nos.

I'd say that the wines you mention, as well as some others in this vein, such as Vin Santo (particularly from Tuscany if made with the "passito" method), Torcolato and Acininobili by Maculan (Breganze DOC, Veneto), and also such fortified wines (vini liquorosi) as Dulcis by Lungarotti (Umbria) - very generally speaking - do not really go all that well with desserts, unless specifically matched with particular ones. They are better drunk on their own, maybe accompanied by biscotti or similar, at most. Otherwise, the desserts and the wines tend to "interfere" with rather than complement each other. I'd say that this applies to most "dessert" wines. Victor |

Look at the ingredients: Nonfat Milk, Corn Syrup, Cream (Adds a Trivial Amount of Fat) Artificial Color (an Ingredient Not Normally Found in Half & Half) Sodium Citrate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Mono & Diglycerides (Adds a Trivial Amount of Fat)Carrageenan, Vitamin A Palmitate. source-- http://www.zeer.com/Food-Products/La...Half/000027222 What's pathetic is that fools pay half&half prices for sugared-up skim milk with added chemicals.

Interference between a good Passito di Pantelleria and a glazed cake? I can't see none. Vene if there's cream (where I have suggested a sparkler like Moscato d'Asti) there would be no major issues. OTOH I like to drink these wines alone, as if they were a course of the meal. Cantuccini must be eaten with vinsanto because they're damn too hard to eat as they are, and biscotti don't match up well with so sweet wines. -- Vilco Mai guardare Trailer park Boys senza qualcosa da bere a portata di mano |

Deepness alone is not enough - the flavours have to be just right for a particular wine, as far as I am concerned. > Interference between a good Passito di Pantelleria and a glazed cake?

All of this is ultimately a question of individual taste and opinion, so no sense arguing about it. > Vene if there's cream (where I have suggested a sparkler > like Moscato d'Asti) there would be no major issues. I'd say Moscato d'Asti or good Asti Spumante are virtually the only wines able to match just about any cake or dessert. > OTOH I like to drink > these wines alone, as if they were a course of the meal. > Cantuccini must be eaten with vinsanto because they're damn too hard to eat > as they are, and biscotti don't match up well with so sweet wines. Biscotti are at least pretty neutral in taste and do not interfere. Victor |

Wait, did someone just say cooking is all about taste??? What utter nonsense! Cooking is about engaging strangers in long-winded discussions about the merits of tis product of the meaning of that term. Who ARE these heretical Big Endians anyway?
