I can't believe I let years go by before having Tea and Sympathy's treacle pudding. This weekend I was reminded of how wonderful life could be, just sitting with a friend in a cozy little British tearoom on a kind of cold February evening. The treacle pudding is just a step away from being too sweet, and just a moment away from perfection. The custard poured on top does not take away from the flavor, it simply enhances it. I do recommend that if you have tea with it (I had chamomile lavender herb tea as it was too late for caffeine), you don't need to add sugar - the treacle provides enough sweetener.
There's nothing more to add. Try it sometime, you'll see what I mean.
Just doing my "Taking Tea With Catherine" voice, the show that spawned Prudence!
ReplyDeleteI still can't bring myself to drink unsweetened coffee, it's still blah to me. Glad you can do it, though...maybe now there'll be no more milk in yer Darjeeling, hmm?
For a certaintly I'll be going back to Tea and in June, after my next you know what appointment...but sooner would be just fine with me too.
I remember splitting a treacle with BonBon. Can you imagine such a sin? I remember us devouring it. I haven't had it since then either. Hmm...I'll be in town this week...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and, LOVE the taking tea voice.
