Wait, it doesn't?
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.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

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.

What is even happening?
Churros sound fantastic with hot chocolate. Now I'm hungry, and the store bought chocolate chip cookies ain't cutting it.
Oooh. That's known as Chocolate Muck-Muck at one of the local restaurants. Mmmm, Chocolate Muck-Muck.
Is it like a cake on the outside, and hot and gooey on the inside, Jilli? Scott and I can barely contain ourselves when we eat it. We often go to this restaurant, even when we're not otherwise in the mood for seafood, because of their Fallen Chocolate Cake. One night, they sold out before we ordered dessert. How we suffered.
They made this on America's Test Kitchen a few weeks ago.
Mmmm.
Somebody wrest Lyra Jane away from whatever world has custard in Boston Creme Pie.
Wait, it doesn't?Yeah. I've always thought of it just as a cream, but I don't think custard is an actual wrong description, Gus. It's thinner--less set, than actual baked custard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Best dessert ever?
Call me fickle, but I could never pick one.

Fickle.
