Is it a secret? Or would you be willing to share?
I lived in England for a couple of years, and this recipe is the one I used, gotten from a UK cooking website. It was very good.

I'm starting to think Bull City is never getting the SSA Vanilla Ice Cream in stock.
Oh! I apologize for not posting this. I’ve been so busy. BCF got back in touch with me last week to say they hoped to get it in stock this week.

all this talk about coffee so thinking to mix some up

some coffee flavor and then mix it with condensed milk and sweet cream

siting here smelling the flavors
fa tiramisu smells nice like a good cappuccino with a shot of espresso
tfa coffee well smells like truck stop coffee, complete with that slight burnt smell
euro flavor white coffee smells like a french vanilla roast
pur cappuccino coffee smells weird, can't put my finger on it but not a coffee smell, more a sweet liquor
cap cappuccino v2 smells like when I was working in the gas stations refilling the cappuccino machines

given the smells I think I'll hold off on the condensed milk and sweet cream
think I'll try
fa tiramisu 5%
euro white coffee 4%
tfa coffee 1%
This sounds good.
I don't have the tfa coffee, but I have a few others I could sub for it.
To give me some guidance, would you describe the tfa coffee as a strong coffee or what?

Yes, it was a fun place and the steaks were very good. Mesquite fire.
I actually only went there because I was entertaining customers, and they insisted on going there, on my expense account of course. They also insisted everyone get the 2lb porterhouse. It was large, but when you hack off the bone and the fat, it was manageable for a growing boy.
They also all had brought and worn their cowboy boots (we lived in the SF Bay area and just visiting our Phoenix factory for the semiannual business update), and teased the crap out of me for wearing loafers. So, I had to go buy a pair for our next trip.
I really don't get how folks think cowboy boots are comfortable. Pointy, and they add to your height, and sure make you walk like a real man LOL. But, comfortable, nope.
I don’t know... my boots are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. Mine are a rounded point though, not the long tight ones. My favorites are my lucchese’s.

Well that explains it. You have the fancy Italian cowboy boots, and I had the crummy American ones.

I've not tried it on its own, actually this is the first i've mixed with it i do believe....
the way it smells I'm gonna say it's medium to strong, it smells like a coffee you'd get at a truck stop or cheap diner with that hint of burnt to it :p

so yeah I just did a drop taste test, yep it's that strong slightly burnt coffee flavor :lol:

Nope, made in Texas ( or they used to be). My first pair I was fitted for and ordered in Santa Fe at their store there

Is that what I call ropers?
Yes and Cowboys will use either term, ropers or Wellingtons
Sorry but I spent most of my life around farms and ranches. But I am not a real cowboy ..........:)

More or less how I make it, except I include more vegetables and more seasonings (today, a variety of herbs and, to make up for the absence of stock, some DIY Worcestershire, a dab of soy, another dab of fish sauce, a mini-dab of liquid smoke, and a spoonful of Marmite). Pretty tasty.
