Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
Hey. Where is Vernon, CA?
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.
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.
Best dessert ever?
Call me fickle, but I could never pick one.
Fickle.
It's boiled creme in Boston Creme Pie, isn't it?
The "cream" in Boston Cream Pie is traditionally thickened with cornstarch rather than egg yolks, and so is not technically a custard, depending on how pedantic you want to be.
