I also heard about this recipe, but with whole bananas. You can serve it with Vanilla ice cream :)

Yes, like listed above, but with pancakes and icecream, flambeés au 'Grand Marinier' instead of Rhum. Vraiment delicieux!

Succes, Pan-aroma

instead of Grand Marnier you can use shrubb a liquor made on the Martinique island (dried orange skins in rum with sugar and vanilla)

Mmm, don't know that booze. I should try it if i get some. Sounds like Napoleon Mandarin in France. I was just thinking, Calvados also would fine!

I'm pretty sure any kind of liquor that is sweet (but not creamy like kahlua :p) would work. I think rhum, grand marnier and cognac would be nice. It has to have a high sugar content (I think) so it can flambé well.

If you want to make a good a good flambé no use to use to have some sugar in alcohol but you have to HEAT the alcohol before... Then it's an affair of taste but rum is the big candidate for it...

That's right, you have to heat it up first. If the alcoholcontent isn't high enough (ideal; 40%) it won't do the trick properly.
Still, always be carefull u don't end up with cuisine flambée... lol
