Comments on Banoffee?

Banoffee pie is delicious. I was on a British Airways flight that served banoffee pie. I love British Airways.

Most Brits think Banoffee is American cuisine. Two of the major grocery stores (Sainsbury's and Tesco) sell "American Banoffee Pie," complete with American flags on the packaging...

I just moved back to the US after having lived in the UK for 3 years, so i could enjoy me some English muffins, French Dip sandwiches, and Bavarian creme donuts. Yum!

i saw an even worse neologism at Dairy Queen recently : they're now selling something called a "MooLatte." Is that supposed to be a play on the "mulatto"?

Banoffee pie! Wow, a friend made me banoffee pie in Belfast in 2000. I'd never heard of it before, and haven't heard of it since...I'm going to have to try this and see if it's how I remember it.

Slate had an article about the tragic MooLatte a while back (and yeah, wtf?) Here tis:

Banoffee pie is the best. It makes its silver screen debut in 'Love Actually' when Kiera Knightly offers the cute guy Banoffee pie to come in and get her wedding video. (This is one of my favorite movies but I literally have no idea what any of the characters names are except for Colin who goes to America to woo Milwaukee girls with his big knob)

Anyways, my friend from Belfast makes banoffee pie with maltesers (UK version of whoppers on it)

Also, I , too, find it disconcerting that English muffins are just called 'muffins' in England. Glad we refer to them properly here.

Finally, Tully's is gross. Banana latte?

I had one of the banana milk shakes from Tully's and it super tastey. Except for the price. It was about 4 bucks for a 12 oz shake. I didn't actually see any bananas being used in the making of the shake either. I think next time I'll go to Kid Valley or Dicks.

I too love Banoffee. Remember that the offee is pronounced just like the offee in toffee and coffee. I hate it when someone pronounces it banaffee.

The recipe I have from one of those 1001 British recipe books says to simmer the actual cans of condensed milk in boiling water for 4 hours. I might add that cans of condensed milk are printed specifically telling you not to do this.

It always works for me though. Just remember to not open the can until it's cooled a bit. You don't want it cold because then it will be clumpy. But if it's too warm you could injure yourself.

Possibly more dangerous, but cleaner. Oh and instant coffee sprinkles on top. That oughtta impress those crazy velveeta loving sloggers.

I only go to Tully's for the shakes (or to get my coffee ala mode.

D. @8 - Right on! Boiling the cans of condensed milk is the best way to make banoffee by far.

When I was living in Edinburgh, the Papa John's there sold revolting Banoffee Pie...

wow! another untested recipe found on the internet by a non-food writer! don't you guys have anything better to do?

Before Tullys had shakes* they had an abomination called the Swirkle (TM). Which actually caused me to spit! It appeared to be nothing more than foam, over ice, with used coffee grounds in it. Yech! Blech! Ptooey!

* It's news to me that they have shakes (just learned it in the comments in this thread). Not being a regular coffee drinker it's been easy for me to avoid Tullys ever since the infamous Swirkle incident. Swirkle entered my lexicon on that day; getting Swirkled is being sold something in lieu of what you really wanted (in this case a mocha shake) that is ostensibly as good, but turns out to be pure shit.
