if it was a liqour recipe then it was " Guinness and harp Lager" with Guinness on top...if it was for food then it was a mixture of 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 cream

1/2 whole milk and 1/2 heavy cream (also called 'sweet cream)

Semi-skimmed

Could be half a measure of wholewheat flour and half a measure of self-rising.

Or half a measure of whole milk and half a measure of semi -skimmed.

Is adjectival or an adverb meaning something that is about half one thing and half another, e.g. a mix of drinks, beers, etc.
Beyond DAve

two halfs or one whole

Half of one ingredient and half of another to make up a 'half and half' mix.

1/2 half milk, 1/2 cream :) half half

it mean s eat and drink ,but no more , no little and not fat , not poor and refreshing up today and not hot or cold .. must be warm or cool

Half milk & half cream sold in a carton or bottle. It is a favoured addition to coffee in the US. If you don't find something similar, you could substitute just whole milk in the recipe and it will turn out fine.

well there is half and half which is milk or the half and half drink (often referred to as the arnold palmer) which is half iced tea and half lemonade (you should try one its really good especially on warm days)

it is half milk and half cream

two ingredients of equal measure

If its in a recipe I would imagine it is half cream/half milk as its unlikely to mean half rice and half chips!!!
