Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Justifiably, the Canadians are praised for their ice wines. Now they have created a new drink category, ice cider!
Yep, the staple drink of English yokels and hardy Frenchmen in Normandy has been given a Quebeckian (is that the right word?) makeover. Just as ice wine is made from frozen grapes, the ice cider utilizes apples hung late into the autumn. After the frozen fruit is picked, its concentrated juice is separated from the crystallized water around it. This is fermented producing a syrupy, ultra-rich, amber-coloured drink with around 12 per cent alcohol. It is recommended on its own as a dessert drink or as a partner for sautéed foie gras or blue cheese and toasted walnuts. I would really love to try the Neige Rabbit.
Now all we have to do is get the EU to let someone import it; after the protracted negotiations over the importation of ice wine it could be sometime!
