Nu-answers. (did we do this before? ahhh never mind)

― jel, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jel = madman with the new questions.

destroy: figgy pudding. (i have no idea what it is. but it sounds...wrong.)

― jess, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Doorayaki! It looks like two thick pancakes. In between you will find red bean paste. It is WOOONDERFOOL. I also like macha-aisu (gree tea ice). Apart from that I rarely have dessert. Does yoghurt count? If so, then yes, I have that as dessert... almost every day.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yoghurt counts!

― jel, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hello, I am Nathalie and a yogo-holic. Dame Blanche is yummy as well. It's vanilla ice with hot chocolate poured over it.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was given grape pie in Latin class this morning at 7:30 AM! Tenuous connections to ancient Rome justifying dessert: Classic.

Plain and fruit cheesecake are wonderful, but I frown upon cheesecake with chocolate. The flavors drown each other out.

Search: dessert before meals.
Destroy: dessert when full.

Malvern pudding like my Mum makes it. My Nanna's mince pies and my other Nanna's pudding at Christmas, with custard, cream and ice-cream (look, it's Christmas, OK?). If you're feeling healthy, strawberries, rhubarb, lychees and any other fruits you've got lying around with a splash blood orange juice, baked in the oven until they're soft but not squishy.

― Madchen, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Ice Cream during heat waves, Yoghurt and strawberries and sex.

Destroy: Vanilla ice cream.

― doomie, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Summer pudding (the purest of all puds = fruit + bread + sugar = bliss w/creamy stuff), Christmas pudding (but only if it's made to top secret Tunnicliffe/Wain family recipe), no pudding at all cos you're saving yourself for the cheese frenzy to come.

Destroy: Pears and butterscotch

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ricky T, make like they do in France and have the cheese with the rest of the savoury stuff, *before* pudding. Then you have ample room, even if you eat a whole big wedge of stilton.

― Madchen, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Butterscotch Angel Delight. (Tomorrow's task: buy, make, eat Angel Delight)

Destroy: Cheesecake (Cheesecake is Officially The Worst Thing Ever because I come from a family where everyone apart from me loves cheesecake and so my mum always used to get cheesecake on their birthday which meant that I couldn't have any. This doubly sucks because on my birthday, she'd get me chocolate cake which everyone would eat. Yes. This has left emotional scars. No. I won't ever get over it.)

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Rice Pudding! (Mmmm... creeeaammyyyy!) Trifle, Bananas and Custard, [any] hothothot Fruit Pie and Custard, Steamed Treacle Pud. SLOBBO!

Destroy: Anything over-chocolatey, Gataeux (sp???)

― DavidM, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What in god's name is treacle sponge pudding?

― Sean, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Anything with sugar in it. I LOVE COOKIES. I LOVE THE CHOCOLATE BAG AT OCEAN CLUB. I LOVE RICE PUDDING. I LOVE ICE CREAM. I LOVE YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIES. I LOVE CHEESECAKE. I LOVE LEMON MERANGE PIE. I LOVE TIRAMISU. I LOVE EVERYTHING DESSERT-Y.

Destroy: I can't think of one single dessert I'd destroy.

― Ally, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not even treacle sponge pudding?

― Sean, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't know what it is, but I'm sure I'd eat it.

Hence, the weight problem.

― Ally, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A treacle sponge pudding is a steamed sponge pudding made with treacle. Of course.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm with Ally. I don't know what treacle is (although it sounds like something that might be found on the corners of a baby's mouth or dribbling from an invalid's lips. bleh.) I also don't know how I feel about steamed pudding. How the hell do you steam pudding?

― Samantha, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

treacle = molasses (actually tate & lyle's golden syrup = molasses lite)

pudding in this case = cake, basically

streamed = encased in a pudding-shaped tin and placed in boiling water until cooked (ie NOT steamed the way vegetables are steamed)

― mark s, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

fascinating mark, thank you. All dessert is good but you can't beat classics: cherry pie, chocolate cake, cannolli. yum

― Samantha, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BREAD PUDDING

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Apple and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, baked by the same people every year because everyone makes it slightly different and continuity is vital.

― Maria, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So Good chocolate soy ice cream. Better than dairy ice-cream, no shit! so being a vegan ain't as bad as you think.

― di, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: the flan recipe I made up on the recipe swap thread, I made it last night and it works and is delish.

Destroy: Bread and Butter Pudding. yucky.

― rainy, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Flaming Christmas pud with brandy butter. Sorry, but it's gorgeous.

― Sam, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I strongly object to the use of the poncey word dessert to describe puddings.

Search: Sticky toffee pudding, most things with chocolate, icecream, French strawberry tart, meringuey things, trifle, spongey things.

Destroy: Cheesecake (why? It has cheese and cake which are both yummy yet somehow contrives to be foul), crumble (esp. rhubarb), apple pie.

― Emma, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm with Ally on this one. I have very undiscriminating tastes when it comes to anything sugary.

Unless I was faced with chocolate covered bugs, I don't think I could stomach that.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is there something wrong and/or different about the cheesecake in the UK? Because I can't imagine hating it here - especially not, like, mocha or chocolate cheesecake in chocolate crust dripping with hot fudge and topped with nuts. Oh and The Dreamery's Tiramisu ice cream is my new favorite. I have forsaken Ben & Jerry's for the Dreamery.

If you want free ice cream, set fire to your local Ben & Jerry's. Ours caught on fire, and we got free ice cream - they parked an ice cream truck in front - for a week until they could re-open.

― Kerry, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no anything that's wrong in the uk re cheesecake is the thing that's wrong with emma

― mark s, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Most people I know here like cheesecake so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Except it's vile. But then I don't like miso soup either whereas everyone else does.

― Emma, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What is the thing that is wrong with me pray tell?

― Emma, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

count yourselves lucky I'm at the wrong computer or you'd have an industrial quantities treacle steamed pudding recipes.

Other than on camp I very rarely do pudding but when i do it is an occasion for a great palava and the best ingredients. I did chocolate pudding about a month ago and still haven't recovered.

― Ed, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thing wrong with you = you don't like cheesecake

― mark s, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had cheesecake today at MY FIRST DAY AT COLLEGE. I made several new friends, so even though I am in agonising pain now it was worth making it in for the first day. Looks like I dont get to see Spiritualized tonight. The college is a nice place actually and its really near by car I found. several bars......lots of people.......cant complain

― Ronan, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll never understand this pudding bit. When I think pudding, I think nasty stuff in a plastic cup that Jello makes. Just the sound and spelling of the word makes me think of all-u-can-eat buffets. However, I think bread pudding is pretty damn good.

My favorite dessert, hands down, is a nice big hunk of Tiramisu with some coffee. Yay!

Madchen
Can we come to your house for Christmas ?

― anthony, Thursday, 27 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

FLAN!

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Thursday, 27 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bread and butter pudding non believers try making it with french brioche, some dark plain chocolate, a splash of Grand Marnier and some orange zest. You will be converted.

Amaretto cheesecake, yum yum.
