[Sca-cooks] Me, was Eskimo ice cream

[Sue Clemenger]

We don't have a Hansen's store, but we do have Hansen's brand "sodas." 
I've not seen them in our local chain-style grocery stores, only in our 
local hippy grocery store (not a chain outlet, but probably the closest 
equivalent would be something like a Whole Foods place).  It specializes 
in bulk items, local wines and beers, "green" cleaning supplies, gourmet 
supplies, organic meats and produce, etc.  I know I've tried some of the 
Hansen's soda...maybe the lemonade once or twice.  Pretty good, but not 
the same taste as the stuff I had in England--perhaps due to a different 
blend of "lemon" ingredients? juice instead of lemon extract, or who 
knows what? (pretty good, at any rate, although my favorite remains 
Reed's Ginger Ale...mmmmm.....)
--maire, wondering how Lemon Syrup would taste with fizzy water (OFC <g>)
p.s.  They might have a website...or perhaps you could order your soda 
through one of those websites that sell British foods in the US? I know 
of at least one, because I recall checking it out to see if it had 
Branston's pickle ;o)
