Pudding
I hate pudding.... and parfaits. My dislike for pudding is twofold. The texture bothers me, but mostly, I hate the word. I've been fooled too many times by the [mis]use of calling something "pudding," it just encompasses far too much. Ex:
Pudding. |
Pudding. |
Pudding. |
Pudding. Although, this bread pudding is addmittedly not-immediately-offputting like the others. I still wouldn't trust a menu serving bread pudding. It probably contains snout meat. |
Shrimp Wiggle
Wiggle! Jeremy, my French friend helping me translate Nana's books, and I stared at this one for a while, wondering if it really says, "Wiggle," because, wtf is a wiggle?
Surely this isn't what Nana meant....
