Random DIY mixing and More

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

BCF carried Amarula for a minute. They called it Creamy Liqueur Special.

FANA, Flavour Art North America had BCF pull it along with vanilla cookie and custard extra (which is really FA Custard Extra 1).

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.

Tastes are so different. I got the little coffee taste but never any Boosy or pear.

If you are wondering about wonder flavors corn powder, it smells just like FA corn. That creamed corn sort of smell. I’ve seen many people rave about that flavor. If that’s your thing, have at it.

We should all place bets on where the next stop will be.

My bet is Mississippi.

I feel like OOO is the one I have seen mentioned the most. I might try a couple. I'm generally a crusty kind of guy.

Ok... I know I said I was out of here. I would like to discuss DIY (and nothing else... I seem to stir up trouble when I do that)
My mistake for getting into my personal life (and not judging, complaining or anything else) I really just want to talk DIY and nothing else (you guys are fine with the random stuff... fair enough?)
I did did a peach pie... used OOO pie crust and WF croissant (made a very delicious crust... pie crust on it's own is very bland) To my surprise, the crust took over... had to add more peach (the crust actually muted the peach) I also added cinnamon but was so worried about using too much I couldn't even tell it was in there. Made some adjustments and loving it (btw, it's "a' la mode" with vanilla ice cream)
My chocolate chip mint ice cream was fine... just needed a bit more mint. Gave root beer another try (way less RB and lots of ice cream/vanilla) Still didn't like it (that's odd because I can do licorice and love it) It might sound crazy, but GrimmGreen (does YT videos) said he loves rootbeer/banana so just added some banana... who knows (going to try that right now) Sounds wacky to me but who knows.

You could also bet on when my stalled pkgs are going to move.

That's probably what happened with Fa Corn and DIY Vapor Supply. I see they don't carry Custard Premium, Butter, Whipped Cream, Milk etc... any more either. Interesting that they sell these flavors in Europe but not in North America.

You never know what flavors mixed together are going to taste like until you try them. You can’t even really take someone else’s opinion because our tastes can be very different.

Has anyone's packages ever gone to Alaska for a stay?

If you need any of those you can make up an order.

I wish the review was after he/she had vaped it, rather than after just smelling it. Might give it a try, but I would be surprised if it's as good as the Fa, which is in my top five favorite flavors ever.

I would not be surprised !

Yea.. I agree
Maybe just go ahead and order from UK and get plenty.
Shipping wasn't really all that bad.

I thought FA Apple Pie is mostly crust.

I'm still chasing the perfect apple pie. Someone mentioned a flavor... apple strudel (OOO) that sounded interesting. I like a bit of extra cinnamon but that is totally optional (I know most people don't like that) It seems one brand of apple pie doesn't have enough crust, another brand doesn't have enough apple. Some have mentioned adding some fuji apple to brighten them up (FA?)
So... going to lay low and hope I didn't disrupt this thread too much with my personal life (that was a mistake)

I have all of them except Milk, which I've never used. Yeah, I should probably order Corn and Milk and a few of the newer ones.

Has any one here mixed with Fa Milk? Thoughts?

 

[vaper1960]

Why isn't it possible for someone post something personal, right or wrong, and instead of attacking, people just let it be. Just ignore. Just hit your like or dislike button, but let it go after that.

PM (conversations) might be a better way to do that (and I am guilty of forgetting that also)

I had a package from a co-op go wonky and go clear up to I think Michigan for 2 weeks.
The package was shipped from here...I could have driven over to pick it up and been back home in less than an hour.

My guess is that FANA and FA Italy preemptively did that so the FDA wouldn't get involved. But that's anyone's guess. I really wonder if FA would sell those flavors to a baking store or website in the US for resale.

In Europe they are selling the FA flavors in FA's bottles. I don't know if that has anything to do with it versus rebottling in the US. I'm not 100% but I seem to recall @hittman posting something about Chef's rebottling some of the FA flavors.

Let's QUIT pulling up posts of things that have died down and not re-stirring the damn pot.

That's as good a guess as any. I'm going with Casper, Wyoming.
