Bluecoat American Dry Gin

I had tried it at the Great American Distiller's Festival here in Oregon and fell in love with the stuff. Just picked up a bottle when I was in California on business. It has a lot more pronounced flavor than any other dry gin I've had, and the distiller claims, if I recall, to use 6 ingredients for their specific blend.

A Vesper, what a fantastic idea! I'll give that a whirl.

Sunday Brunch: Bacon and Egg Pie

My Canadian relatives all eat pea meal bacon and it's delicious. I've never seen it elsewhere. Is that different than what you've described?

In Canada, we have streaky bacon and back-bacon...

Back bacon is basically the exact same thing as UK bacon-- especially Canadian back bacon. If you can find that, you'll be chuffed.

Trust me, my entire family's from UK and I travel there all the time.

(Still... crispy streaky bacon is a gift from the gods, I say.)

if you're in NYC you can get your back bacon from Meyer's of Keswisk on Hudson street, as well as many other foods from your wonderful home! Call first to make sure that they have it in stock first!

I agree with saradlr, although I am from the other end of the world - New Zealand. I was astounded when I fried a slice "bacon" in America - I ended up with a pan full of fat with a little crispy chip thing floating in it! We do have streaky bacon here, but it doesn't disappear into a pool of fat when you cook it.
And where is the pastry in this pie? Bacon and egg pie needs to have delicious buttery flaky pastry above and below the bacon and eggs. Mmmmmm, if only I wasn't dieting I'd go and make one right now.

Hahaha, for some reason I find this whole post hilarious. As a brit living in N. America, the number one thing I bemoan is that I cannot get proper british back bacon - all I can get is that 'nasty' streaky stuff that is only good for wrapping round roasts and other such cooking as far as I'm concerned. In support of the UK, we do in fact sell streaky bacon, while you have no back bacon equivalent here that I have ever found. And no, it isn't basically canadian ham, they really are very different things (almost as different as back bacon is from streaky), no matter how many Americans tell me that is so!

But until today it had never occurred to me that an American in the UK would have the opposite sense of deprivation. I feel for you, in our opposite and yet strangely similar sufferings.

Bluecoat American Dry Gin

I bought two bottles of BlueCoat last month and have just finished the first.

Definitely not your normal London gin, I've mixed BlueCoat versions of most of my gin favorites. The Bronx and the PX's Big O seemed to be off, so maybe staying away from orange is a good plan.

Dunno why Spirit Journal trashed this brand.

Thanks Messily. I'd better pick some up before New Year's Eve!

Bluecoat is delicious! I think it may beat out Hendrik's as my new favorite gin.

PerkyMac, they do carry it in PA liquor stores, at least in Philadelphia.

Home grown, eh? Next time I'm in the STATE LIQUOR STORE (PA is SO frustrating), I'll look for it, but how much do you want to bet that they won't have it? Probably more likely available across the river in NJ, or Delaware.
