    Apologies for barging in, but does anyone know of a U.S. vendor that sells Fa Corn? I bought mine from DIY Vapor Supply a couple of years ago, and just ran out. DIY Vapor Supply doesn't carry it anymore, and I can't find it on any other U.S. site either.
    You of course are not barging in.:) I hope someone can answer your question.

    I am not doing a chocolate amarula peanut butter crumble cake in the name of Random DIY Science. :pervy:

    :lol: :lol:

    I'm still waiting on my Fig Netwon Random DIY Science project to get done steeping.

    :D
    How about a chocolate amarula caramel fig newton peanut butter crumble cake for science?

    Flavour Art Italy sells it.

    I just checked Chef's Flavours (UK) and they have FA Corn in-stock.

    Thank you Fran. :) I hope so too. I just recently ordered a bunch of flavors and am fully stocked on the flavors I use except for the Fa Corn. I would really rather not put in an overseas order for just one flavor.

    It might be the only way to go. I have no doubt you could find a few flavors to go with it.

    Thanks, read the post above. I may be forced to order it from Chef's though. Problem is, the only time I ordered from overseas, I ordered a bunch of other flavors that I didn't really need to justify the shipping cost. Needless to say they're unopened and unused. I don't experiment much anymore and stick with the recipes I like.

    Hmm, this might be the incentive I needed. They're not sold in the U.S. because they contain diketones?
    Diacetyl.

    In case you are curious here are the new FA flavors.

    Thank you. What site is this from? The recommended percentages seem a little high for Fa.
    Those screenshots were posted on the ELR forum. Chef's has most of them.

    The recommended %'s are high in my book. I haven't used any of the new flavors at those percentages. I've used them between 0.5% - 1.5%. IIRC I bought 12 of the new flavors.

    Diacetyl.
    Same thing. Diacetyl is a form of diketone which most vendors like TFA and Capella replaced with another diketone, Acetyl Propyniol, years ago. I think Fa didn't bother and just moved the "offending" flavors to their "Kitchen Line". Unfortunately some of their best flavors, like Corn, is in that line now.

    Wait...
    Y'all said NonNomz for the Amarula and all that came up was the coffee one that I ordered.
    I see Amarula Sweet on that list.
    Looks like the amarula has several different descriptions.

    That is the Amarula you bought from Nom Nomz. On the screenshot I just posted they list the "Flavour Profile" as sweet. IMO it's not a sweet "sweet".

    Here are my notes from when I first tested Amarula.

    I tested my Amarula (1%) this morning.

    From the first hit, I noticed a light coffee note. There is a liqueur like note that is balanced well within the overall flavor profile. I also taste something like a pear. Yes, a pear. In my experience, pretty much any pear will develop creamy notes after some steeping. FA Pear does that really well. Amarula also has a very nice mouth feel.

    It's a good flavor, IMO. Next order I will buy a 30ml bottle.

    I think Amarula will work well with any coffee type flavor. Mixing Amarula with a little FA or SSA tiramisu (0.25%) would be very tasty. Most creams and vanillas will work. It would also add nice complex notes to bakery mixes.

    It's ok...I just looked at Chefs...it's the same.
    I thought I was missing getting just Amarula !

    Got some mixing done, mixed sft's of Buttermint, Cotton Candy Jelly Bean and the Salmiak Licorice, Already gave them a try, and of course time will probably change them, wasn't impressed with the Salmiak, get a sort of burnt taste to it, but the jelly bean and buttermint was pretty good.

    Also mixed @Koolkiz licorice recipe, and that is really good already, it has a nice smooth flavor, but put up to steep and see how it is in a week or two.
