My understanding is that 'half and half' is very similar to what we call here, in the UK 'single cream', used for pouring over puddings and or into coffee.

  Hi Keith;

  Half and half is a 50/50 milk/cream product bought in the dairy aisle and is 
  used mostly for adding to your cup of coffee. It's packaged like any other 
  milk or cream product but usually found in the smaller pint or half pint 
  sizes. It's also sometimes seen in those little creamers when you go to 
  restaurants. You can add it when you cook too as you would with full cream 
  (less butterfat).

  Hey - we're not finished yet, Lisa! I still don't understand. Does it refer 
  to consuming a drink
  comprising, say, a glass of half milk and half cream? Or is it the use of a 
  "half milk half
  cream" in cooking?
