Butterscotch VS. Caramel --
Both are fairly good stripper names. |

Caramel comes in a number of different forms. eg as a sauce for deserts, or as a hard toffee like sweet, or even as a chewy sweet. Butterscotch on the other hand is just butterscotch isn't it? Basically toffee with butter added after cooking (from what I remember of my childhood when Mum used to make it for us).
Cider over here is always alcoholic. Apple juice is either flat or sparkling. I don't like the stuff you get that doesn't need refrigeration. We usually get the cloudy apple juice which has to be chilled at all times. It's supposedly 100% pure.

And then there was honeycomb which is toffee with bicarbonate of soda added at the end (I think) isn't it? I like that stuff. And peanut brittle (butterscotch with peanuts). Mmmm...I feel like something sweet now.

I had never thought about it before, but considered caramel a candy or something like the candy (more liquid for ice cream topping, for example), and butterscotch a flavor. Now I'll have to look up "toffee", too.

Just to add to the cider/ apple juice debate.
Apple juice is what God intended when he created Eden. Cider gets you the same way as Adam and Eve (nekkid) and gets you doing what God intended (procreating) when he created Eden. Cider is alcoholic and leads to alcofrolics. |

A woman will generally feel better after she's been stung, if she gets a prick in cider.

In America, the fermented, fizzy stuff is Hard Cider. Cider is what you have in the Fall. Too thick to see through, bits of apple solids, and lovely pressed apples, perhaps with some additional worm protein added at no extra cost. Lovely rich brown color. Apple juice is clear yellow, very sweet, filtered, and has a lot of the essential appleness taken out of it. And caramel is clearly better.
