Cannabis oil has made quite a launch in the UK recently with CBD oil becoming a miracle cure for many health issues from skin problems to anxiety to chronic pain relief. With many people appealing to make the strongest form of cannabis available in the UK, with little or no luck so far.

From Hemp skin care products to CBD oil a new launch has now come to the UK. Cannabis craft beer. Green Times Brewing has partnered with a Leeds-based Northern Monk to create a 7.2% CBD pale ale which contains cannabis oil.

The pale ale named Green Heathen contains a legal 10mg of cbd oil per pint. This is legal and highly popular. It has been described as having a soft resinous tropical flavours. CBD oil is mean to be packed with natural ingredients meaning that this CBD pale ale should be good for you theoretically. With the boosted liver function that is meant to come with the oil then technically the alcoholic beverage should help process alcohol more efficiently meaning you should recover from drinking faster. There is also anti-inflammatory effects which not also could help speed up your recovery but also make sure your skin stays lush.

Perfect partnership for CBD pale ale

Green Times Brewing and the MD of CBD ultra described their CBD pale ale product as the perfect partnership. The MD said that he is honoured to be working with the ale company and that for more than 10,000 years both beer and cannabis have been used to enhance health and mood so both together is the perfect infused partnership

As well as creating the perfect pale ale that will fly off the shelves they have helped to boost trade in the little northern area they are from. This is a perfect way to boost income as well as create new products. We may even have to get some of this unique and special pale ale to try on our bar.

Pizza Themed Wedding

27 November 2019

Wedding Pizza. For most people getting married follows a set of traditional trends that’s been around for century’s, a church, till death do us part vows, a big white dress, something old, new and blue and of course sharing the day with your family and friends. However for some they may want to think outside the box and do something a little different, something that will set their wedding apart from any other wedding in history. This can be hard though to think of something that hasn’t been done or how to put your own personal spin on a wedding but still manage to keep within your set budget…a very stressful times for many newly engaged couples starting out in the big wide world of wedding planning.

Chicago Town

Chicago town pizza may have just the answer. The fast food pizza chain is offering a competition for all soon-to-be-weds to enter with the prize being a pizza based wedding package. Who wouldn’t love a pizza wedding????

The wedding package includes a fairy tail elegant, princess worthy bridal gown fit for any beautiful bride…with a cheesy twist instead of the traditional white lace this dress dons the detailed print of a scrumptious looking pepperoni pizza on it, complete with a thick crisp crust. There is also accessories accompanying the dress such as a matching pizza bouquet and a six tier pizza cake that the lucky couple get to cut into, a honeymoon to Chicago and some spending money to treat yourself once your there. The competition is not only aimed at the quirky couples or the lifelong pizza lovers but also the couples that may have a small budget.

Research First

The fast food chain decided to run the competition in the first place based on a poll that was conducted with 2000 brits. The research conducted found that overall wedding guests consider the food at a wedding to be more important than the actual exchanging of vows, with around 2 fifths of poll people saying that they would enjoy having a pizza meal at a wedding. And around 64% of brits said that they are excited to attend a wedding if they now that pizza is on the menu.

The competition package was created to appeal to both newlyweds to be and their guests. The Chicago Town Brand Manager, Rachel Bradshaw said that “Weddings are the ultimate celebration of love, but it seems like our obsession with food trumps everything else when it comes to anticipating and enjoying someone else’s big day.

A small trip for man…one big trip for toddler

24 November 2019

One small trip for man…one large journey for toddler We’re all used to hearing the stories of how you can’t take your eyes of a toddler for two minutes as the fearless children take seconds to get up to any type of mischief. Even in their cots you hear of children learning to take a leap and jumping out the cot and escaping however it’s unusual to hear that a small child escaped down the street to a fairground!

Kenneth Allen is a toddler from a home in Minnesota. The child’s parents had to called the police in a frenzy when they realised their small son had gone missing in his toy tractor. The police was called when worried parents couldn’t find their small child who had been playing in his battery powered tractor.

Local Reports

According to reports it was found that the small independent child had taken a trek to the local fairground which was two blocks away from his home. Having visited once the child miraculously managed to navigate his way through his home town to get back to the fairground.

The police arrived and responded to the incident quickly and managed to locate the boy watching the Tilt-A-Whirl ride at the Chicago County fair ground. The child was found safe and happy and returned to his very worried parents. It seems that once the incident was over and the toddler was found safe that the funny side was seen by all involved. I have to say I can’t blame the poor boy for wanting another day at the fair before it leaves his town!.

Once found and returned home the tots father removed the tractors battery! Hopefully the Child’s license was revoked as well and he won’t manage to escape on another journey to his favourite local spots and keep to small trips.

Atomik Vodka

16 November 2019

We’ve heard of some wacky ideas for types and flavors of drinks but this one really takes the biscuit, Atomik Vodka!

33 years after the worst nuclear energy disaster in the world scientists have used crops from the waste area to create a new atomic vodka. The science team behind the drink have assured tasters that the drink is radioactive-free and that it could ‘possibly be the most important bottle of spirits in the world’. Scientists from both the UK and Ukraine who spent over 24 months researching the area and looking into the scientific transference of radioactivity the local area of crops.

Locals to the area

Locals hope that this new product will help the region to recover economically as if crops and land can now be used without any radioactive side effects. They also hope to start a new enterprise launching a spirit company producing the Chernobyl vodka and selling it on.

A professor from Portsmouth University who worked on the project said that he hoped this would be the start of something brilliant for the local area and that he is hopeful that these special bottles of vodka which is made from grain local to Chernobyl will make a path for future endeavours. Describing the spirit as the most important in the world due to the help it could give to the recovery of the economic in the local areas in and around the abandoned areas of the Chernobyl. He plans for over 70% of the profits to be given back to the local community

Scientists behind this product explained the process. They took the rye that was slightly contaminated in the contaminated area and water from the Chernobyl aquifer and they then distilled it. Although some radioactivity was found in the grain the process of distillation reduces the impurities which means that this spirit is safe to drink matching other brands of spirits also avalible on the shop floor. The main exclusion zone is a wild life reserve area and therefore shouldn’t be used as an agricultural site however there is areas around the area that could be used.

Perfect For Your Summer Barbecue Booze Up!

18 June 2019

The weather in the UK this weekend is reaching a new high for 2019 so far. Were definitely not a nation that is used to the hot weather or for that matter the cold weather were just used to a northerly wind and a constant downpour. When the snow hits we come to a standstill but on the rare occasion the sun hits we become a nation of alcoholics. Here were sharing some new products to the market that are perfect for your summer barbecue booze up!

The beer gardens are full and the barbecues are out in force this weekend and with day drinking on the rise when the sun comes out why not purchase the latest product to hit the market – champagne flute ice lolly moulds.

The company Sophistipops have created a 4 hole mould with freezer friendly stems that look like the bottom of a champagne glass which resemble champagne flutes. Imagine your friend’s faces when you bang them out at the next day drinking barbecue hot weather celebration. You’d be the most sophisticated hostess with the mostess.

The moulds can be purchased for a very british 10 bob from Hawkins Bazaar. You fill the moulds with your favourite drink, add the flute stems to each of the moulds and add to your freezer. Leave them for a few hours and then take them out the freezer and share around.

According to the item’s description on the Harpers Bazaar website it reads : “Indulge yourself with a frozen treat that exudes high class and sophistication. These Sophistipops are easy to make and come out full of flavour!”

This is not the only summer beverages perfect for your summer barbecue booze up!

Smirnoff the vodka brand has just launched a new Tutti Fruity Flavored Vodka perfect for your summer barbecue booze up! The new range of summer vodka spirits include orange, grapefruit, raspberry, rhubarb and vanilla. The Smirnoff marketing manager said that the process of making the new summer vodka uses real fruits instead of just flavoring meaning that their natural flavors are extracted and infused individually.

Kopperberg normally famous for its fruity cider is now launching a new pink gin that tastes of strawberry and lime! Another fruity summer drink perfect for the barbecue booze up or to put into a mold and freeze for a fruity gin ice pop!

The London-dry style gin will be available from May 6 at over 700 Greene King pubs across the UK. It’ll then roll out in Asda and Morrisons from May 22, where it’ll set you back £22 for a 70cl bottle.It comes with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 37.5 per cent, compared to only 4 per cent in its cider.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m excited for this warm weather to hit the UK and I hope it lasts longer than a day! We may have to consider some updates to the drinks list on our gin bar for some more sunny flavors! or on our frozen cocktail cart to make sure its ready for all the British booze up summer parties.

Ice Cream Made With Maggots

13 June 2019

Gluten and dairy intolerance’s has been on the rise in recent years. In fact there’s over 8.5 million people in the UK that now lead a gluten free diet. This can be hard because it means that you have to cut out a lot of food from your diet and you can’t enjoy one of life’s biggest pleasures carbs and ice cream.

Luckily in this modern day more brands are creating alternative food now allowing people with intolerance’s to be able to eat a wealth of different foods, for example you can now get soya milk or almond milk as an alternative for dairy milk, gluten free alternatives to bread and of course Ice cream made with maggots.

Ice cream made with maggots – not a typing error

No…that wasn’t a typing mistake maggots is right a company has decided to make ice cream with the creepy little bugs called maggots. More precisely the species called the larvae of black soldier flies.

Personally I think that this ice cream alternative sounds pretty manky but they say that the ice cream doesn’t actually taste of maggots. The company based in Cape Town University Of Technology process the maggots with other natural ingredients then mix it with an array of different flavours in the ice cream machine. The flavours include such as Chocolate, Christmas spices and Peanut Butter all of which are strong flavours presumably to make sure that you definitely can’t taste any maggots.

The head of Production

I don’t understand why you’d take a fancy to trying larvae ice cream than a different alternative such as soya ice cream or almond ice cream but according to Leah Bessa the head of the product development that there is very good altruistic reasons for doing so she told the sun news paper “Insects are typically environmentally friendly and sustainable to farm because they use very little land, water and food to grow on,” she also later added that they produce a lot of protein, fat and minerals meaning whoever eats the ice cream is getting these benefit’s too.

I have not personally tried the ice cream or have any wish to do so, something about eating blended maggots doesn’t agree with my digestive system however when free scoops were given out on a taster day and they received a flurry of good reviews and apparently the taste is similar to other dairy free ice creams. In fact one quote left on the day read It tastes like ice cream should taste. A little bit more earthy, a bit more organic taste. But I’m pretty happy.”

With plans for the ice cream company to expand to other parts of the world including here in the UK it hopefully wont be too long until we can get our hands on some however I don’t know how well it will go down with our clients! maybe

Ice cream made with maggots may be a unique selling point here at Crazy & Co. so watch this space!!!.

The new blue Java Banana

12 June 2019

There’s nothing better on a hot day than a selection of fresh cold fruit especially exotic fruit. Although a cheeky pineapple and watermelon medley is about as exotic as I get, however after reading the news lately I feel pretty damn standard! There’s a new member to the exotic fruit family known as the Blue Java Banana and this is the don of the fruit market ; not only is it blue but it tastes of ice cream.

The java is said to have the same colour and consistency of a normal banana but with a unique outside skin colour of blue and a strong vanilla flavour to it. Originating from South East asia the blue banana quickly spread through continents such as North Australia, Hawaii and Central America.

So with all them places being the other side of the world to our little old United Kingdom it looks like we wont be getting to try the blue banana anytime soon however lucky for us now were in the 21^st century where we can use the internet for this sort of information.

Food Bloggers try the Java banana

An Australian food blogger videoed his first try of a blue banana described the banana taste as Phenomenal. The clip shows the blogger peeling the blue skin back to reveal a ripe mushy flesh which I can only describe as mushy sick mash potato. But according to him looks can be deceiving and after biting into the banana he described the taste as sensational adding that it was like an unbelievable taste of summer in his mouth.

The prime time to take a bite of these java’s is when they’re past the ripe stage and have gone to the next soft stage where usually you would decide to throw them away. Apparently this is when the blue banana is at its peak vanilla taste and softest texture.

Others have said the banana has a very creamy taste with a much milder flavour than your standard yellow banana. With a lighter and better texture the flavour is also a lot sweeter too and has won the hearts of many tropical fruit lovers with many being such a fan they bought java banana seeds online so they could grow their own blue banana tree at home. It is advised that when it comes to growing your own blue banana tree that Blue Java bananas like ‘warm, rich soil with high moisture’, and require a lot of fertilising and sunlight.

Charlie and the chocolate factory comes to life

9 June 2019

Everyone’s seen Willy Wonkas inventions haven’t they… the Everlasting Gob stoppers that taste like a Sunday roast, the Wonka Chocolate Bars well willy wonka has now hit California in the role of Plant Breeders and Charlie and the chocolate factory comes to life

Plant Breeders in California have created a natural grape that tastes like everyone’s favorite fairground treat CandyFloss This natural grape has not been cloned or genetically engineered with artificial flavors. There has been two combined grape species that has been grown and ripened together that now tastes like the pink fluffy cotton candy treat.

Where to buy some

When you first chew the grape and it pops open in your mouth with juice squirting out it gives you a rush taste of the much loved treat at the fair, cotton candy. The grapes are available in the UK in Asda, Sainsbury’s and M&S.

A horticulturalist Mr D. Cain wants to bring back the true natural flavour of grapes, he feels that over the time and the growing and shipping process they have begun to lose their taste, however with new innovative grapes could people begin to prefer flavoured grapes to natural ones??

There is an array of different fruits available in store especially when it comes to apples with over 10 different types offered to consumer’s including pink lady, braeburn and fuji apples. The farms that grow grapes now want to offer people a higher selection of grapes in a hope that more people start to buy and eat them as part of a healthier diet. Most people complain that healthy food doesn’t taste as good as the sugary food even though it’s good for you whereas these grapes are full of the goodness and the flavour that everyone likes. The grapes do have around 10% more sugar than regular grapes but still a lot less than other fruit such ass raisins.

Where Charlie and the chocolate factory comes to life

The candyfloss flavoured grape farm in the US has increased from 2 acres to 100 acres with plans to increase to 200 acres in the next year this is due to the popularity and high demand.

The creator of the candyfloss flavoured grape said that it took him hundreds of tests and attempt’s before he finally found that flavour. Mr Cain said that the whole process takes anything from 6 to 15 years to create and find. He has no intention at stopping at this flavour and wants to create a number of different flavours of grapes in the future.

Nothing Better Than An Alcoholic Beverage Or 10

5 May 2019

There is nothing better than an alcoholic beverage or 10 until the next morning when you wake up with the worst hangover known to mankind, and honestly it feels like the worst day of your entire life…without being too dramatic that is…

Well imagine if there was a way you could enjoy the sweet taste of alcohol without ever waking up on deaths door the next morning, this would be revolutionary wouldn’t it? You’d be able to go on them nights out that you’d normally have to miss because of grown up commitments like family or work. Well this dream is currently closer than what you think!

After several years of research a product called Alcarella is being created that is a magic substance that gives you the sensation of being drunk without having you running to hug the toilet seat the next morning!.

Alcarella is a synthetic alcohol based on a molecule called alcosynth…we know science and alcohol equals more fun!!! the new ingredients ensure that the drink can give you the same feelings as being drunk without the hangover. The only downside is that this drink won’t be ready anytime soon, it could take a few years to become regulated before its offered to the public and can be sold.

Imperial College London Professor

A neuropsychopharmacologist, professor from the imperial college London that the drink will be going under rigorous testing a they need to show that it’s different from the bog standard alcohol and doesn’t produce the toxicity that gives you a hangover. The professor studies the effects of alcohol and found which receptors in the brain is targeted by alcohol and claims this new revolutionary drink will work differently and target different receptors.

Nothing better than an alcoholic beverage or 10

Synthetic alcohol is said to have a cap so that it is impossible to get out of control on. After around half an hour to forty five minutes the effects of the drink wear off. Mr J Forsyth a global drink analyst recon’s that the product will appeal to the health conscious consumers of today and be a promoter of lunch time drinking as the effects will wear off by the end of your dinner break.

According to a study they found that 4 million people are killed each year from alcohol, and that many people can have a negative side effect to drink so with this new break through then people can hopefully still have a good time on a night out without the drunk driving potential or without the anger side effect of the alcohol.

So could we see the end of alcoholic drinks as we know them.
