Brennan’s is yeasted sandwich loaf. It doesn’t resemble even the notably off recipe for brown bread you linked. Except in that that American food blog mistakenly uses a loaf pan. The use of Brown on the label there is analogous to the American “whole wheat”, it’s not *the* brown bread.

Here’s some advice from someone who’s been doing this forever.

There’s no dried fruit in soda bread. Especially brown bread like this.

The recipe provided here is a brown bread recipe, see the whole wheat. But thing is brown bread *is* soda bread and what’s most often meant by the term in Ireland. 

Yeah pretty much what I was getting at. When you get right down to it it’s just a hand warmer. The reason we haven’t had these for a very long time is that the engineering trick is doing it fast and safe in a practical package.

You could literally just take a conventional hand warmer and mount it in the bottom a can,…

It’s a news story every fucking year. And every fucking year it’s stupid. 

I am familiar with 1 canned hot coffee product in the US. Their cans are held in a hot box at 140. A slightly thicker label is more than enough to insulate your hands. And weirdly because the mouth/lid of the can isn’t directly in contact with the liquid (there’s air space in any can), and aluminium is so good at…

From what I understand these things are basically a disposable hand warmer mated into the bottom of the can. The thing to solve is what exact compound, and what exact trigger, you use to get the heat up high enough, fast enough so the consumer can consume the drink basically right now. Instead of waiting 45 minutes.…

it’s tough to imagine drinking from a hot can,

It may not be a real engine. It’s fairly common for prop/stunt cars to be powered with whatever’s cheap and available, cause you’re not generally driving them faster than 40 miles an hour. This could easily be a prop of some sort, covering the real, much less impressive engine. Or the actual engine powering this thing…

Did you know Batman had a horrible deformed mechanic who lived in the cave and fixed all his shit?

1. Bombay Sapphire is a London Dry Gin. Explicitly. On the label. A London Dry Gin. Just not a very good one.

You compared Aviation as a New American to two brands it doesn’t resemble in the least that aren’t New American Gins. Using a construction that implies those two gins are New Americans.

Plymouth is a hell of a lot more similar to basic New American gins (particularly dry ones) than Sapphire is for one.

If you like Plymouth you’ll probably like Aviation. It’s a fairly soft, floral, less junipery gin. Right around where Plymouth is in terms of dryness. Little more towards the citrus. They’re quite similar stylistically.

It is a new american style gin, so it is most similar to a hendricks or bombay sapphire

I killed the shit out of a spice grinder doing that with some Panela, which is a very similar sort of unrefined sugar from Latin America.

Mostly just went for a microplane, which is how I found out this is one of the few things that can dull a god damned microplane. Back in the day people used what were basically sharp…

They are my backup brand, as they’re always available. And if I’m buying cans of sauce it’s my go to unless I can find a brand where the ingredients read “tomatoes” instead of “tomato puree (tomato paste, water)“. There’s nothing wrong with the later, the former just tends to be a bit better. Can’t find it no problem,…

Clearly it’s a vodka commercial.

That’s mostly what it’s used for. It’s a garnish used in deserts.

And it isn’t that expensive. Even on Amazon where the prices run high. There’s very little actual gold in the stuff, impossibly thin layers.

And 30 sheets is a fuck ton of gold leaf if it’s being used properly. It’s a common artists material as well.…

Even as an advocate for a heavy schmear. That is way to god damn much cream cheese.
