Somehow I just knew the colonialists would throw in their two cents... ;))

Cheers, mate! :p

[ms.jones]

You mean someone would throw in a penny's worth, don't you?
Oh, all right, lets allow for inflation - two pence ;)

Icing. Glaze on ham.

[ms.jones]

although doughnuts are glazed ( eg Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed)
and iced too

eg: Krispy Krem's chocolate iced glazed cruller and maple iced glazed :)

You guys have those too. My tongue is hanging down to my knees right now. :)

[ms.jones]

We've had them for over a year. Criminal neglect and deprivation if you ask me.

[kylie1]

what do you mean by that? :)

[ms.jones]

They came to Britain sometime in 2003 - I had no idea what we were missing/how
good they are!

[kylie1]

Well, we've had them here for about that long too. They are a new franchise
from the States and very successful! We also have our Canadian "Tim Horton's" (
after the hockey player...already dead, Bless his soul) and they are just as
good. Hm hm hm...
:)

They filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada a couple of months ago and now
it's for sale.

That goes to show that we value our Canadian product. I find Krispy Kreme too
rich. Maybe it's just me but Tim Bits still rule! ::))

[axxolotl]

Right. Besides, I don't even have Krispy in my town, but they are gooood :)

Podaję za KFD: "polewa, lukier, polewa z lukru" ;)))

Dla mnie, jako MCP, takie subtelności nie mają znaczenia. Wazne, aby zrobił to kto inny i aby było słodkie ;))

icing
but donuts are glazed

[kylie1]

True. Doughnuts are glazed. Glaze has a thin smooth shiny coating. Doughnut
glaze is made of icing sugar. Ham can be glazed too but it's a mixture of the
meat sauce and cornstarch. It's also shiny in texture. But you can't put icing
or frosting on the ham or any other meat.( well, I guess you can but I don't
think you would like it. :)
Icing/frosting is made out of confectionary sugar.And that's what goes on
pastries. Glaze does too.
