Das Boot Question
 

This is not related to SH3 in any way.

What is the third ingredient to the famous UBoat Special Cocktail? Some kind of liquid out of a can. I'm guessing its condensed milk, but does anyone know for certain?

Thanks

There are only two ingredients, condensed milk and lemon juice.

Hi Phantom II,

you're right. It's condensed milk, trademark 'Glücksklee'. But there are only two ingredients: lemon juice + cond. milk

Greetings,

Wow, Gizzmoe - you're faster than your own shadow...

But doesnt he have the milk in a glass, then he squeezes the lemon juice, and then adds the condensed milk?

-Phantom

If you eat the jar after drinking the cocktail, then there're three ingredients...:rotfl:

No, he has lemon juice in the glass and then adds the condensed milk.

KK, my bad :)

Thanks for that :) I wanna try it sometime

-Phantom

I'm seasick just thinking about that.

Tell us how it was! :p

By the look of the colour of the milk it looks like it's gone off and judging the looks of the others at the table they give out funny looks. :yep:

Nah, condensed milk comes with a yellowish color and has an extremely long shelf life, much longer than any U-boat patrol :)

It probably wouldn't be to bad actually; condensed milk is slightly sweet, lemon sour.......

And lemon juice will instantly curdle any kind of milk.


*Leans over after rail. feeds fish*

Yeah, he had to stir it pretty good before drinking it :)

I said this before, but I'll gladly repeat myself: in the book the 'author' (read fictional version of Bucheim) describes the different ways the officers consume their daily lemon ration. One pours sugar on the lemon, another pours the sugar in his mouth and then bites into the lemon and of course the 2WO make his 'cocktail'. What's fun in the movie is that if you look at the whole scene carefully you'll see the different officers quietly doing just what the book describes.

I believe it's evaporated milk..NOt condensed. must find out for realism :D
What is evaporated milk?

As its moniker explains, evaporated milk is milk which has had about sixty percent of the water removed via evaporation. It is then homogenized, rapidly chilled, fortified with vitamins and stabilizers, packaged, and finally sterilized. Standards require whole evaporated milk contain at least 7.9 percent milk fat and 25.5 percent milk solids. The high heat process gives it a bit of a caramelized flavor, and it is slightly darker in color than fresh milk. The evaporation process naturally concentrates the nutrients and the calories, so evaporated versions are more calorie-laden and nutritious than their fresh counterparts. You'll find skim, low-fat and whole milk varieties of evaporated milk. Low-fat and skim versions are also required to have added vitamin A, while all have added vitamins D and C.

What is sweetened condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed milk goes through less processing than evaporated milk.
zSB(3,3)Sixty percent of the water has also been removed from condensed milk, but it differs in that sugar has been added. Condensed milk contains 40 to 45 percent sugar, at least 8 percent fat and 28 percent milk solids. Condensed milk is pasteurized during the evaporation procedure, with the added sugar making any further sterilization unnecessary, since the sugar inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Governmental regulations require that vitamin A be added to condensed milk, but no other nutrients are required by law although they may be added. Condensed milk is very high in calories.

Unsweetened condensed milk is a redundant term. It is simply evaporated milk.

When mixed with an acidic ingredient, sweetened condensed milk thickens naturally without requiring heat. It is perfectly suited for puddings, pie fillings, bar cookies and refrigerated desserts. Condensed milk comes in regular, low-fat, fat-free, and even chocolate varieties.
