Did you know that vanilla is an orchid??

Solid 4.75/10 interesting fact there.

In restaurants I always used to order the most over-elaborate chocolatey desserts, with layers and bits sticking out, often with ambiguously-defined names like ‘bavarois’

Now I prefer really simple things like creme brulee

Which begs the question: what is the default dessert?

Apple crumble?
Vanilla ice cream?

The default Sunday roast desert is a strudel for me though…

Cheesecake

If I could be arsed, I’d take offence at that

I was going to go with apple pie or vanilla ice cream

As a kid I would definitely have said jelly, or (when I lived at my gran’s) tinned peach slices with Carnation milk

Shit, massive omission there. It’s even vanilla flavoured

#41

Not really a dessert though - it’s something you’d pour on a dessert

#42

True, but it comes in a self-contained form as well

Not in my world. It’s a perfectly acceptable stand alone pudding, and whilst I do like it on stuff I prefer it alone.

Wouldn’t get it on a dessert menu :woman_shrugging:

#45

Only because then nobody would buy any of the other desserts.

Nah, the default custard isn’t. Only posh (shit) custard has vanilla added to it.

Fair point, and the original context was about ordering in restaurants

Although thinking about it - isn’t vanilla ice cream just frozen custard? And creme brulee hot custard with sugar on top?

Doesn’t it all have vanilla flavour though? Agree about the little bits of seeds pointlessly floating about
