This week is brought to us by Donna of Spatulas, Corkscrews & Suitcases. I hate to state this so bluntly, but I’m afraid this was a big loser for me. I could not eat this…period. My Mom loved it though, so I guess it’s a wash. I still ended up spending $5 on a munchkin-sized bottle of scotch just so I could make this recipe. I think the foundation of the recipe was fine (if you were making a custard and not a pudding but more on that in a bit) but the liquor I chose was abysmal. I had no idea what to pick. I have a feeling that this probably would have tasted fine with a different liquor, but I was limited to the selection of tiny bottles up at the front of the counter that my local liquor store had in stock. If it wasn’t in a little bottle, well, tough luck. I’m not spending $20+ on a bottle of liquor for a recipe that I’m not sure I’ll ever make again. I got the cheapest “scotch” that was available and it was a blend – they were all blends, so I figured I’d go cheap. Despite the gah! factor, I’m glad I only spent five bucks on the booze.
