Maybe it's just me...okay, it's definitely me, but WHY would you ruin Daisy Martinez's flan with

canned whipped "generic, made with chemicals" spurting stuff.

Why?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

I turned to the person and said" "Just baby-bird it" while miming the International Sign of tipping your head back, holding the can vertically over your mouth and filling the old pie hole.

Then the person took another small piece and added more than the first time...you couldn't even see the flan under the pile of whipped cream.

I suspect the flan was simply an excuse to eat hydrogenated whipped chemicals in public.

PS: The other five guests were actually fighting over the last few pieces. Literally. Forks at the ready. It's possible someone was going to get a wrist stabbed.

PPS: Canned whip cream was brought by the only person using it.

PPPS: Full Disclosure:

Ingredients: Cream, Milk, Sugar, Dextrose, Contains less than 1% of: Sorbitan Monostearate, Artificial Flavor, Carrageenan, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) to Protect Flavor, Propellant: Nitrous Oxide

 
Yup. My son hosted a breakfast that was centered around homemade waffles with...

...all the toppings imaginable, along with freshly whipped, lightly sweetened heavy cream with a touch of vanilla. You would have thought he had placed the Holy Grail of Dairyland on the table!

Most of the 30 or so friends gathered had never eaten REAL whipped cream in their entire lives. Okay, so maybe being 20-somethings had a little to do with it, but he was surprised to say the least. He, and his brother? They grew up on the stuff!

And we won't even get into the reaction to homemade waffles.

In cooks country extra creamy cool whip won the taste test

First choice by the cc folks was runner up land o lakes in the can. Of course homemade wasn’t part of the test.

 
That's a fun idea; hosting a waffle bar! Curious, did your son make any waffles ahead of time, or

make to order? I like the idea, just trying to see how it work. I wouldn't want the waffle's to be the bottleneck.

 
When one needs a short cut or a lower calorie whipped topping, Cool Whip is it. Approved by Weight

Watchers, too. I have a friend who loved pumpkin out of the can, seasoned to her liking and a dollop of Cool Whip. Helped her get through a weight loss period and still have that little sweet something. Used in moderation...

 
Spray - for those who must have whip!

Flan should not be served with whip cream. Real, canned or frozen - horrors! Serving spray and cool whip should deter diners from topping Daisy's perfect flan. I certainly would pass!
But, like Marilyn, I do love an occasional spray-filled pie hole when only the luscious Land-o-Lakes canned, Whipped Heavy Cream, Costco 3-pack will do smileys/wink.gif Colleen

He collected several waffle irons and began making 4 to 6 waffles at a time. Then,...

...he would either transfer them directly to someone's waiting plate, or put them on a rack in a 200 degree oven to hold. They stay crisp on the outside and tender inside as long as they aren't in the oven for more than 10 minutes or so.
