Hoo-rah!! I've found recipe that includes WHISKEY!!! Not tried it yet, but it's a good one for those who are Alcoholic Vegetarians... Hell - that's a great name for a band - almost makes me wanna form a band again...

Pecan Pie!!
300g shortcrust pastry shell, bought or homemade is fine
300g pecans
8 egg yolks
4 Tbsp treacle
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp whiskey
250g double cream

1. Toast the pecans lightly in a moderate oven then set aside.
2. Whisk the yolks, treacle, sugar, whiskey and cream, then add the pecans.
3. Pour into the shell and level off.
4. Bake 180°C for 30-35 minutes.
5. Cool slightly before serving.

NOTES:
This dessert can use any nut at all. In fact, pine nuts, with a little orange zest and rosemary is a great Italian version.

Not tried the Italian one yet, no. I will do soon though - just waiting for the garden's fresh Rosemary to grow back after the winter. How's it sold in the cafe so far??
