What is the best Ice form for caterers/pubs?
Types : Gourmet, Dice ??
Answers:
As a seasoned bartender both in the U.K. and th U.S. can definatly say crushed for chilling glasses and big cubes for tall drinks. Fact:- more ice in a glass will keep the drink colder and thus less melt to water down your carefully balanced voda cokes etc. Can go all scientific with relative heat capacity and stuff but big cubes keep drinks the way they should be, longer.
Oh! infact some smart alek NYC bartender actually worked it all out once and optimised cube size, tmpreratures and stirs etc. for the perfect meltage in his perfect Martini. He made alot of money and never threw his bottles arount.

Check any "Bartenders Bible" not yer local boozer!
If you own a catering business or pub, I imagine the cheapest ice you can find is the best.
Godiva or Haagen-Dazs...
