Possibly. Boston Cream Pie for me is whipped cream over a light, fluffy aeriation of chocolate. It weighs nothing, and has every superlative of taste.
That's not Boston Cream Pie at all. Boston cream pie isn't pie at all, for that matter.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Cake with custard stuff. Like it too, because when it comes to sugar, I'm a whore.

We'll have to see if we can get a bunch of Chicagoistas over to the Melting Pot sometime this year, Brenda! Fondue works better if you have a group, I think.
Oh, and the best chocolate dessert I ever had at home was my mom's Texas Cake, so-called because it was made in a huge sheet pan. It was basically a slightly cakier brownie with an awesomely rich nutty chocolate cream frosting. If she hadn't lost her recipe box when she moved out East, we'd still have the recipe for it.

Trust my rage
I don't know if there is more than one, but the Chicago Melting Pot I went to had really cool dark booths so you were sort of separated from other groups. I think it would be lots of fun with 6+ people.
And I see there's one in Raleigh. maybe I'll have to go one of these days.

One of my favorite desserts in the world is a cranberry pudding that came from one of my grandma's neighbors. Pudding in the British sense - it's really more of a not-too-sweet cake filled with whole cranberries and topped with a luscious lemon sauce.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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.
It is goop, and therefore gag-inducing. But then, I'm a dessert crank, what with the not much liking sugar.

With "Congratulations!" written in chocolate sauce, since we were on our honeymoon and I taught JZ the trick of mentioning this fact to the staff of any place in which we ate. New Orleans being lagniappe city, we got all kinds of extras.
