Just a quick note - sorry I'm a bit behind with reading digests -
exams are here...
I seem to have left my recipe for skye cake in storage (damn), but it
was basically your favourite fruitcake with eggs left in and the only
other liquid being the beer. I have used both a soda-risen form and
a yeast-risen and they were both good. The original recipe (but I
don't conform to directions very often!) is in Commonsense Scottish
Cookery by Gordon Hay.
Bubbly non-alcoholic drinks (whatever your region calls them -
everyone seems to have a different word) - I have noticed that some
mineral springs produce quite a fizzy water straight from the ground,
so have never seen a problem with bringing artificially carbonated
stuff. Sure it's a bit more fizzy than the natural stuff I've seen,
but give it 5 minutes and it won't be.
