Your recipe is delicious.

Here is a recipe for you...........

Buy two soccer tickets to a Manchester United Soccer game against Chelsea.

At halftime enjoy a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie.

After the game is over drive home and fix yourself a Black and Tan.

Put your feet up and watch the other soccer highlights on TV.

What else can be said.You have just enjoyed the best of the UK.

This is a great drink

Try substituting Harp instead of the bass to make a mean Black and Tan.

That is actually called a half and half.(Harp and Guinness)

Half & Half

Guiness Stout w/ Harp Lager = "Half & Half"
Irish favourite because it contains all Irish beer,no English Bass Ale.
Best not to mix politics w/ beer.
Black & Tan or Half & Half,they're both great.

Sorta Right

In Ireland a Black and Tan is made from a half pint of Smithwick's topped off with Guinness.

Also,Guinness and Harp is sometimes (usually?) called a Half and Half.

An excellent variant of these is a drink called a Special in Ireland.Basically,a pint of Smithwick's with a Guiness head.
