What is Half-and-Half?

Question

is it half milk, half cream?

Answer 1

Yes...you are correct!

Answer 2

Half and half refers to a dairy product, an alcoholic beverage, a soft drink, or a curry supplement. In general it refers to an equal-parts mixture of two substances.

Dairy product:
In the United States, half and half is a mix of 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 cream, typically used as a more stable cream in coffee. It has a fat content of about 12% and is sometimes used to make ice cream.

Curry Supplement:
Originating in Wales, many people like to have half and half with their curry. The term half and half in this instance, refers to having half rice, half chips.

Alcoholic beverage:

England and North America:

In England, a half and half is a combination of Guinness stout and Harp Lager, with the Guinness in a layer on top. See also: Black and Tan

In Ireland, the term 'black and tan' is a pejorative term for the British, and should not be used.

In the North East of England, a request for a half and half would more commonly produce a combination of Scotch ale and India Pale Ale (IPA). This drink fell from favour when the Scottish & Newcastle brewery were obliged to sell many of their tied public houses and McEwan's Scotch and IPA disappeared from public bars across the North East.

In the United States and Canada, the term is generally used for a layered drink of Guinness stout and any other beer of darker colour than the average pilsner, and therefore not a "black and tan".

Scotland
In Scotland, a half and a half is a dram of whisky and a half-pint of heavy as a 'chaser.

Uruguay
In Uruguay, a "half-and-half," called "medio-medio" in Spanish, is almost a national beverage, comprised of half champagne and typically half wine, but can be half whiskey or rum in place of the wine.

Soft drink
A Half and half, also known as an Arnold Palmer, is a drink consisting of 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 iced tea. It is popular in the Southern United States.
