    19% Of Us Eat Ice Cream In Bed While 3% Eat Ice Cream In The Bathtub To observe National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on June 7 all you need is chocolate ice cream. Who says you have to stop there, though? You can have it in a cone or make it from scratch. Add sprinkles or syrup or whipped cream. Chocolate ice cream is the second most common flavor, surpassed only by vanilla. The chocolate flavored ice cream has been in existence well over a hundred years and has been popular in the United States since the late 19th century. Click Here For Additional Stories And Videos On South Florida Reporter Cocoa powder is blended in with eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar to make chocolate ice cream. The cocoa powder is what gives the ice cream a brown color. Other flavors, such as rocky road or triple chocolate chunk, use chocolate ice cream in their creation.

  • The Perfect Meal Goes Beyond the Exotic Ingredients and Creative Insights of the Chef and Into the Realm of the Diner’S Psy- Chology
    Spence ffirs.tex V1 - 06/18/2014 3:46 P.M. Page ii Spence ffirs.tex V1 - 06/18/2014 3:46 P.M. Page i “This book offers insights into all the wonderful sensory elements that make up our mem- ories of a dining experience. For the last two decades the culinary world has been obsessed with modernist cooking and the role science can play in the kitchen. Nowadays more and more chefs are realising that science also has a place at the table; that a dining experience is made up of far more than just good food and that by understanding how we use our senses to interact with and appreciate food we may be able to further enhance our guest’s dining experience. This book looks at many topics which will become increasingly relevant to both chefs and society as a whole in the coming years.” Jozef Youseff, chef and author of Molecular Gastronomy at Home (www.kitchen-theory.com) “Whether your idea of a good night is the local café or the latest Michelin-starred restau- rant, it is unlikely that you’ll be unaware of the cultural phenomenon that restaurant food has become in recent years. The secrets of chefs – amateur and celebrity – have been laid bare in myriad weighty books and glossy TV programmes. The Perfect Meal goes beyond the exotic ingredients and creative insights of the chef and into the realm of the diner’s psy- chology. Using an accessible writing style that neither talks down to the reader nor dumbs down the science, the authors take us into the relatively unexplored world of the dining context: the gastrophysics of the visual, acoustic, tactile – not to mention taste and smell – influences that we are exposed to in every dining experience.

  • Tasting America One Kid Friendly Restaurant at a Time
    Tasting America One Kid Friendly Restaurant at a Time Alabama: The Hangout Perched on the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, The Hangout lives up to its motto of "Fresh fun served daily!" with live music and an outside courtyard with a giant sandpit, foosball and ping pong, and a giant foam machine. The fun continues inside with walls covered with Pez dispensers, matchbox cars, rubber ducks and toy collections, and a crowd-pleasing kid’s menu. You’ll find the usual suspects like burgers and hot dogs, but for a local taste, encourage tots to try the popcorn shrimp, served in an actual popcorn bag with local shrimp, popcorn and French fries. For the adults, a winning order is the Ragin Shrimp Tacos paired with a beachy signature cocktail, like the Sassy Southern Belle. Alaska: Bear Tooth Theatre Pub If dinner and a show is your ideal family night out, Bear Tooth Theatre Pub in Anchorage delivers on both counts with a creative menu of pizzas, tacos and salads delivered to your movie theatre seat. Order a signature pie for the whole family or let kids under 12 choose options like beef tacos, quesadillas and fruit or veggie plates from the dedicated kids ’menu. Adults can share appetizers like oven-baked pretzel sticks basted in Broken Tooth Brewing’s Pipeline Stout, served with a side of Prince William Porter cheese sauce, and dishes inspired by Alaska’s coastal bounty, like seared salmon tacos or blackened cod burritos. If your crew is more inclined to just grab a bite, drop by Bear Tooth Grill for burgers and creative Alaskan seafood- and Tex-Mex-inspired entrees, or Moose’s Tooth for scratch-made, stone-baked pizzas and craft suds from Broken Tooth Brewing.
