You have to have good scotch for scotch to be good. Try some 12 yr Macallen...or 18 yr if you have the $$

I've grown accustomed enough to various cheap liquors that even Old Smuggler scotch tastes good to me. Chivas Regal is living it up :p

I can handle the cheap vodka pretty good. I got a liter of Aristocrat I'm working on now. But I always thought Glenfidditch was a fairly good scotch, I think I paid a good for it, 40 euros perhaps?
broon is just a snob. A snob with really good taste, but still a snob. ;) :D Macallen>Glenfidditch

Glenfidditch is just fine by me though, but Scotch is very very much an acquired taste.

Okay so why is Boston Cream Pie called pie when it's more like a cake? :confused:

http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/BostonCreamPie.htm
Cooks in New England and Pennsylvania Dutch regions were known for their cakes and pies and the dividing line between them was very thin. This cake was probably called a pie because in the mid-nineteenth century, pie tins were more common than cake pans. The first versions might have been baked in pie tins. Boston Cream Pie is a remake of the early American "Pudding-cake pie."
