Are there any recipes using tobacco?

I find it unlikely.

A New York restaurant has cooked up a way to beat the city's tough new anti-tobacco ban.
The Italian restaurant Serafina Sandro unveiled a "Tobacco Special" menu on Wednesday, with such delicacies as gnocchi made with tobacco and filet mignon in a tobacco-wine sauce, garnished with dried tobacco.

Tobacco panna cotta -- an Italian cooked cream dish -- is available for dessert, followed by a strong glass of tobacco-infused grappa.

"I never thought tobacco would taste so good," said the restaurant's co-owner Fabio Granato of the rich tobacco flavour. "It tastes better than smoking."

His partner Vittorio Assaf said he tips his hat to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who pushed through the tough anti-smoking bill that took effect last Sunday, for his inspiration.

Under the new law, cigarettes and cigars are barred from almost every bar and restaurant in the city. It aims to protect workers in the 13,000 bars and restaurants that have allowed smoking.

"Bravo Bloomberg," he said. "It took Mayor Bloomberg to make us finally cook with tobacco in the kitchen. It's the invention of a new spice into the cuisine."

The tobacco recipes were the brainchild of chef Sandro Fioriti, a cigar smoker who mused "maybe a little more tobacco" as he sampled the panna cotta.

He's been testing the recipes on friends and staff for two months, he said. A lobster and shrimp salad with tobacco is in the works, while a salmon wrapped in tobacco leaves was rejected as too strong, he said.

Serafina Sandro isn't the only place aiming to placate tobacco-starved customers. The World Bar at Trump World Tower has introduced what it calls a smokeless Manhattan cocktail touted to taste like a cigarette.

Some bar owners are resorting to handing out pieces of nicotine chewing gum, and the city's Health Department announced it is offering free nicotine patches to the first 35,000 smokers who call a telephone hotline designed to help smokers quit.

I'm sure Heston Blumenthal has used it before, but there's nothing currently on The Fat Duck's menu that contains it.

a chef on good food live did a couple of recipes with it last year (or maybe the year before)

I've definitely seen tobacco ice cream somewhere, perhaps Richard Corrigan?

Cocktail to taste like a cigarette = a) a beer can that's been used as an ashtray or b) my piss after the office Christmas party.

Surely this argument is not loseable? There's no official creditation scheme for recipes, is there?

my recipe:

Faggy ice cream:

1 tub of vanilla ice cream
Aome tobacco (rolling is best, but break open a ready rolled if not availablre)

Allow ice cream to defrost slightly. Stir in tobacco.

Instead of a piece of burning/smoldering rosemary on top of a cornish hen, they could just stick a virginia slim in a cheeseburger.

Irish-born chef Richard Corrigan is one of our all-time favorites in London. As in an old-fashioned speakeasy, you ring the doorbell for admittance to a Regency townhouse deep in Soho. Unfolding before you are gilded mirrors and bare wooden floors. The staircase delivers you to one of two floors. Corrigan is one of the most inventive chefs in London, with creative offerings changing daily based on market availability. What inspires Corrigan at the market is what will end on your plate at night. You might start with a soup of potatoes, wild mushrooms, and cabbage, all in harmonious balance. The foie gras with caramelized endive and Banyuls (a dessert wine made of shriveled Grenache Noir grapes) is another dazzling choice. For your main course, expect such delicate and delightful dishes as breast of wood pigeon with foie gras and pumpkin chutney, sautéed veal kidneys with couscous, seared scallops with a ravioli of veal knuckle, or confit of rabbit with Serrano ham and Perigord truffles. An engaging, surprising dessert is the banana tart with spiced-bread ice cream and tobacco syrup (yes, you read that right).

Alright! Thanks.

but seriously, sod the tobacco syrup, I want veal knuckle ravioli

Baked spuds a la fag ash

Sorry

Fag ends and mash.

Ricardo OTM - my housemate's father went there for his 60th and had tobacco flavour chocolates as a course. They said these choclates 'minged'

Cigar ash is actually a reasonably traditional (what's the best adjective for "people have done it for a long time, but they might never have been in the majority"?) chili ingredient, but I don't know if ash really counts as tobacco. I've used it and it doesn't contribute much, good or bad.
