What's the best dessert you've ever had?

Passion fruit mousse with whipped cream and a sprig of mint in chocolate shells at the Cascades restaurant in Nashville.

My understanding has always been that Boston cream pie is sponge cake, custard filling, and chocolate icing. Have I been lead astray?

Edit: Yankee Magazine, who seem like they should know what they're talking about, say I am right.

Ugh. Why do I have to spend an hour trying to do something in JSP that I could do in a minute with PHP?

Oooh! I inveted a term to describe this phenomena, called "brainwhorf". I never had the opportunity to use it before!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do Grasshoppers count as dessert?

Yes.

What's the best dessert you've ever had?

A banana split with three types of very good ice cream, with topping that's carmelized on the bananas.

Also, every desert that has ever been served to me on fire has been amazing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Best dessert? Soft serve chocolate ice-cream with chocolate jimmies in a waffle cone. I'm a simple girl.

Best dessert ever: a brown-butter waffle topped with toasted pecans, sliced bananas, bourbon ice cream, and chocolate-maple syrup from Magnolia Grill in Durham. Man. I think I just gained ten pounds remembering it.

Edit - actually, it was bourbon gelato. For the extra calorie charge.

What's the best dessert you've ever had?

Bananas Foster, prepared on a flaming grill at tableside by the maitre d' of a fancy Phoenix hotel restaurant. Brandy and citrus juice and sugar and cream flamed together, then poured over bananas, done with a really theatrical presentation.
