Would you ever doubt this?

Wow, is there still really that big of an inferiority complex in BR?

I don't live in BR.

Go back and read what I wrote. Keep reading it until you understand it. Does it say anything about NO syrup is better than any other?

---

It insinuates it.

Admittedly, it took a while for BR to get a quality snowball stand, but there are a couple, like "T's" on Harrel's Ferry.

My point is made again.

Callandro's on Government has Nectar Soda syrup.

If u grow up in N.O. you can tell the difference between sno-balls in B.R and N.O.

Now different doesn't mean or insinuate bad...I think they're ok, although that little trailer that set up shop on Perkins near Acadian is terrible. They only put enough syrup to cover the top...you get half way down and its nothing but ice..dry as bone..

But all in all I like most of the stands in B.R, the only thing is, I wish they would stay open past 7pm...kills me that u can't get a snowball after dark in the summer around here.

Snow Wizard.

The sugar water combination is 1 pound of sugar to 1 pint of water and then you mix the concentrate flavor with the sugar water.

yes, there IS a difference. Easiest way i can explain it is making sweet tea from adding sugar to it or boiling the tea with the sugar. You can easily tell the difference, boiled is much sweeter and more of a natural taste to it.

Most stands mix the juice (roux) straight up, easier and faster. I believe the standard is 40 lbs of sugar per 7 gallons of water, i could be wrong. To boil it, it's 38 lbs to the 7 gallons.

Bring it to a boil (to purify the water) and add the sugar. It'll liquidate pretty fast. let it sit and cool down (overnight). then add the preservatives (2). I think the yield is about 9.5 gallons. Maybe 200 to 300 snoballs from that? kind of forgot the ratio.

get Southern Sno (Belle Chasse) as the supplier, they're fast and easy to deal with.

Originally they were Sno Wizard, but the brothers split the company. I heard the Sno Wiz guy is nuts, FWTW.

you can do a search for Albany, the guys name is Smitty. he has a couple of stands. he sells a book that details how hard it was to find the recipe. that's where i found it.

i'd be willing to bet that not a single stand "boils" their roux. I'd put my old snoballs up against anyone around here (BTR).

That roux gives the flavors a more natural taste.

a man named george orlana (spelling ?)invented the first shaved ice machine in n.o. in 40's my mom worked at his snoball stand on magazine and constantinople. he made a lot of money off the machine he sold patent he has since died but his wife is alive and in upper 90's

Try Hansen's Sno-Bliz and Plum Street Sno-Ball's syrup. Nothing else compares. / of thread.

I will throw in Sal's (my Old Metairie-ness requires me to do this) and the guy on the corner of Rosevelt and Airline that squeezes fresh fruit...awesome.

Sorry, BR people...once again, get over yourselves...there is no comparison....none.
