I have a tiny bag of black salt that I bought at an Indian grocery store about two years ago. I'm still going through it -- I originally bought it for a vegan omelette recipe, because black salt makes things taste eggy, but I thought the omelette was gross, so now, pretty much the only thing I use it for is matzo brei, which I only make during Passover and only takes a pinch or two of black salt, anyway.

So didja hear Donald Trump is now taking credit for Obama releasing his long-form birth certificate?

Cupcake vodka. I dunno. I really dunno. It's not like cupcake is a flavour. Devil's Food Cake vodka is going to taste like fudgy chocolate, I guess. What will chiffon taste like? Frosting? Also not a flavour.

From the description there, it sounds like the original Cupcake Vodka isn't flavoured, just super-smooth with a decadent mouth feel - I don't really get what that means but I'd be interested in trying it. The 70-proof flavours I don't know about, though the chocolate infused vodkas I've had in the past were delicious.

Eta: the idea of premium vodka being made in Livermore is odd to me.

It seems there's a "subtle tree fruit and citrus" flavour to the original, from the web site. Don't know if that's inherent in the vodka itself, or what it has to do with cupcakes.

heh, that reminds me of a snoball flavor down here called "cream of ice cream."

I think Cupcake is just the name of the winery that makes it?

Tree fruit? That's cryptic.

This is why I prefer gin.

If gin were invented today, would it still be called gin, or would it be just another flavored vodka?
