I know you asked Persephone33, but I'm opening my big mouth here.
So is half-and-half an American thing? It's a mix of half cream and half milk, sold in grocery stores in the dairy case (in half-pint and pint cartons) as "Half and Half". It's mostly used for putting in coffee, or in very naughty recipes. :D
Yes, half and half is most definitely an American thing (well, we in Australia don't know what it is anyway). It's good to know what it is, because now I can create my own when I come across it in a recipe that hasn't been 'translated'.

Although it can't be worse than what I ate last night. Paula Deen's restaurant in Tunica, y'all! :D

I need to cook something now. But I have no idea what. Grr.

I have to ask, because I've always wondered: what is half and half?
