From the Epicurious Dictionary:
Also called Irish moss , carrageen is a stubby, purplish
seaweed found along the west coast of Ireland, as well
as America's Atlantic coast. When dried, carrageen is
used in cosmetics and medicines and is greatly valued
as a thickening agent for foods such as puddings, ice
cream and soups.
Isn't that the stuff McDonald's used in their oh-so-popular
McLean Deluxe?
