    Desserts

    Puddings, afters, sweets...etc.

    When I'm feeding my son in the middle of the night I often get inexplicably hungry, usually for something savoury, and was thinking about the crisps thread. But I definitely prefer sweet to savoury. So - what's your go-to pudding?

    Nothing with raisins, coffee or alcohol. However, the main things I look for are salted caramel and custard.

    Also, at Christmas we made this: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/...-pudding-tart/

    And it's right up there in terms of the best dessert I've had.

    See I don't enjoy either of these individually, but bloody love tiramisu. No idea why I would even have tried it in the first place.

    Chewy cookies are the worst. Unfortunately, that seems to be the only thing that they serve over here.

    Tiramisu is properly rated, and creme brulee is overrated as hell.

    A homemade pannacotta with real vanilla is where its fucking at though.

    Tiramisu probably. But I'd rather skip dessert and go straight to the Cheese Board.

    Nothing that involves chocolate, which is for children and dull women. Apple crumble and custard is the winner.

    Also, rhubarb is the superior crumble.

    I'd have put money on you saying eton mess, but crumble and custard would have been a close second.

    Eton mess is the thing with meringues isn't it? Meringues can take a hike.

    Bread and butter pudding also a good choice. Basically anything you can put custard on.

    Most citrusy things - lemon posset, lemon tart, lemon cheesecake, marmalade bread and butter pudding.

    Or, most chocolatey or coffeey things.

    Sticky toffee pudding can be hit or miss I find but the one I had at my work's Christmas dinner last year was probably the best dessert I've ever had. It was a Guinness sticky toffee pudding and it was amazing.

    Nah, I really don't like soft cookies. I'll take a crispy one every time.

    Are soft cookies a thing elsewhere, or just here? There are even places that sell raw cookie dough ffs.

    Proper biscuits are far better than rubbish soft 'cookies' which is just a bit of underdone cake getting ideas above it's station.

    Otherwise, Jimmy is pretty much on the money. I'd have rhubarb on a level with apple as the best crumble and honourable mention to junket as king of the set desserts.

    I'd have rhubarb as top crumble. Feels more like a treat than apple does.

    +1 for rhubarb.

    Not having English desserts often is the worst thing about having forrin parents. Getting to eat crumbles, sticky toffee puddings etc etc at school was amazing.

    As for American cookies they should have some chew.

    I don't have a 'go-to' dessert, I hardly ever have any, but chocolate cake must be up there. The diner nearby also makes some beastly coconut cream pie.

    Chocolate itself is OK but chocolate puddings, cakes, desserts, no thank you. They're so sticky and childish. I just get Bruce Bogtrotter vibes from the whole mucky setup.

    I can eat chocolate desserts, if it involves real chocolate, but I detest anything that is 'chocolate flavoured'. Chocolate Milkshake, Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Ice Cream. All disgusting.

    You can't include hot chocolate there, you've probably only ever had the Options bullshit or something similar.

    This stuff is the tits:



    It's proper chocolate.

    If it's proper chocolate then it's not 'chocolate flavoured', and is indeed not included within my statement.

    This is hard one to answer. I want to choose what I think you can't really go wrong with, like in the way that you will struggle to find a shit bag of crisps, but these things tend to be hit and miss. You get as many wank crumbles with just a dusting of crumble or overly-thick fruit as you do good ones; cheesecakes have gone down the dickhead route and become all nonsensical and sickly; you come across some very mediocre cakes and puddings... I think, assuming that it maintaining its form once you get into it is the least you can expect, I'm giving it to trifle. I can't think when I've had a shit one other than when idiots make them too wet and it all caves in on itself. Even them quid box ones you make up yourself are absolutely class.

    I'll tell you when you've had a shit trifle. Any time you've had one.

    They're old people desserts from a time when none of the population seemed to have fucking tastebuds.

    Fuck off Boydy. Trifle is great, and actually, Lewis may well have changed my answer.

    Tiramisu or Trifle.

    Trifle immediately handicaps itself by having a layer of wet cake at the bottom, unforgivable.

    BUT we have swerved into dangerous territory here.

    A trifle is set custard, jelly, cream and that bready shit. Hundreds and thousands are also allowed. 'Chocolate trifle', like my sister in law once brought round, can FUCK OFF into the 'chocolate flavoured' bin.

    Cold custard, jelly with chunks of fruit in it, fresh cream and wet cake.

    Actually Boyd, well off the garden trail here, you said about a 'Guinness flavoured something' somewhere. Possibly here, possibly the food thread, I can't be arsed to check.

    Is that allowed in the north? Is Guinness a Republican thing over there? Or will Loyalists partake?

    It was in here. Guinness sticky toffee pudding.

    And I can't tell if you're taking the piss or not. But you can get Guinness everywhere and everyone will drink it. There's never been any sectarian connotations to it that I've known of.

    I was partly taking the piss, but also actually curious. There must be an Orange or 2 that won't touch 'dat Catholic shite'.

    There might be the odd hardcore bigot like that but I've never encountered them. It's also in pretty much every pub whether it's in a Catholic or Protestant area.

    You don't really get it over here. Harp, Tennants or Carlsberg are the three regular cheap lagers.
