Long story......I got up this morning thinking that to make easier, I would make a menu for this weekend. Made my grocery list according to some of Jim and Jake's favorites and a couple of quick lunches. In my menu I decided to make a cake. Jim is not a cake eater, but I make ONE that if you don't watch him, he will just get a fork and disappear. Butter Nut cake with roasted pecans. It uses vanilla butter nut flavoring. I have some, but not enough for the recipe I use. I add it to my grocery list. I search the flavorings and nothing....I text Jake to check his store (Publix) and see if they have any. No, but he brought home a flavoring called "Cake Batter". I told him I didn't think that would work but I would keep it anyway. I'm sure I can use it for something. Fast forward....Rachel and I meet in Gainesville for our Thursday night Mom & Rachel outing. Before we meet, I stopped at 3 different grocery stores and nothing. After dinner, Rachel and I go shopping and we stop at yet another store....nothing. But they ALL have this "Cake Batter" flavoring. Strange. When I get home, Jake and I get on the Publix website to see if it can be ordered. It can...no problem. Jake notices that the picture on both flavorings is the same. I open the bottle I already have and take a sniff...butter nut flavoring...I open the "Cake Batter" flavoring...butter nut flavoring...can't be....I google to see if they are the same or equal enough to substitute and this is what I found...
McCormick has recently changed the product name to Cake Batter Flavor. It is the same great product with anew product name. Same exact ingredients. ...McCormick Imitation Vanilla Butter and Nut Flavor is a bold blend of butter, vanilla and nuts.
NO NO NO!!!!! You can't just change the name of things. I'm 56. I remember my Grandmothers using butter nut flavoring. If something has had a name that long...LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!
OK rant over. Otherwise I have had a pretty good day.
