You are the creme de la creme, -- interesting term isn't it? do you remember the idiot test from younger years? (a big long story about an internation flight that crashes, on an international border, and the final question is "Where do they bury the survivers?"
i remember that question and this one..
which weighs more? a pint of heavy cream or a pint of light cream?
heavy cream-- with its higher fat content, of course is the creme de la creme, rising to the top, and a pint of heavy cream, (on a scale) would weigh less than a pint of light cream, (with less fat, and more water content)
those how know me, know that, if i am the creme de la creme, its partly because of a higher percentage of fat!
i have always been puzzled by the terms heavy cream and light cream. (since heavy cream is lighter, and it does rise to the very top!) are there other generaly misnamed things? (i am sure there are, i just can think of any!)
