Default Wow US Desserts!!!

When one dessert just won't do it! Delicious food trend sees sweets being
stacked into spectacular (but calorific) treat towers, from cinnamon
roll-topped doughnuts to cake-covered milkshakes

uJelly in California tops their doughnuts with flan, cinnamon rolls, and
chocolate-covered strawberries Doughnuts from The Rolling Pin in Toronto and
Queens Comfort in New York are finished off with macarons and doughnut holes
Dreamy Creations in Los Angeles serves frozen custard, which can be topped
with cupcakes In NYC, Black Tap Burgers and Beer creates over-the-top
milkshakes with cake and candy, which have gone viral

Look at them he

be selling that stuff.

Well it showed the pics and stated the places that make it ... Are you
saying they were all made up? Surely it would be easy to check if you are
doubtful.

I don't know if the Daily Mail is legit or not. But we have always had some
places here that sell bizarre or giant foods. These places are not the norm
and most people do not order them.

We used to have in ice cream place called Farrells. Last time I checked,
there were some in CA but no more here. One thing they sold was a huge sub
type sandwich, the idea of which was to share between friends or for the
whole family. They also had some ice cream concoction that started with a
punch bowl. It was then filled with an assortment of various ice cream
scoops, syrups, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, etc. And topped with little
plastic animals which no doubt would no longer be allowed as they would be a
choking hazard. The idea there was to order this for a kid's party.
However, they would allow a single person to order it and if they could
finish it, they would get a prize. And about once a month, someone would do
this. Usually some guy. And they usually couldn't finish it. I think
maybe it was free if they ate it all but I could be wrong on that.

They also had a huge menu and it offered a variety of things in odd
combinations. Also really cheap soda water. We had a waiter tell us that
they could offer the soda water for so cheap because nobody ever ordered it.
We did but it wasn't good. Not flat. They just didn't offer any lemon or
lime with it so just kind of salty and boring.

The other odd things were mostly for shock factor but he said that
occasionally someone would order them.

Desserts are not usually something I pay attention to as I never order them.
But I have been to places with giant burgers, odd nachos and things like
that.

You're dealing with a hardcore libitard mentality there.

It's far easier for him to shoot the messenger than wake up and smell
the pastries!

I haven't seen stuff like that either, nor would I want to.

The one that gets me is Serendipity's frozen hot chocolate. For some
reason, people think it is a big deal and love to post pics of themselves
with it on Facebook. The stuff looked rather tasteless to me. And then
when they had to use one as an ingredient on Chopped, they said what I
thought. It was tasteless.

Holy smokes! Things are a lot worse on the mainland than I would ever guess! Chef Raymond Siu down the street knows how to make desserts. The custard sitting under that lychee sorbet is the most amazing and delicious custard ever - it contains neither eggs or milk. Brillant!

You'd probably find it surprising that candy stores are fairly rare in the US. It was funny to see them in the UK. I thought I was in Willy Wonkaland.

They aren't real stuff we eat, I hope you know! The only one even
remotely reasonable was the strawberry dipped in chocolate and then a
swirl of chocolate over the dougnut with the fresh fruit in the center.

anyone should be able to figure out that those items have nothing to
do with reality. It's a wonderful article prepared for those folks
who like to think they are so much better than those in the US.
Didn't the deep-fried Mars bar originate in Scotland?

At least some were Canadian and as a Canadian I would say people here
eat too many desserts and it shows! The portions in general are too
large, I always feel I must eat everything on my plate and not waste
but sometimes it is not possible. Currently I patronize a pub near
here because the chef has agreed he will send me 'child' portions. I
pay the regular price but don't have the guilt complex of leaving food

They should be able to figure that out but it's a little scarey that
some may not have?

On the fried mars bar, yes, I think so.

One thing I've noticed over the years is when someone outside the
country is taking a dig at Americans, it's usually by way of a Daily
Mail article. I think the Daily Mail is the British equivalent of the
trash papers found in the grocery store checkout aisle. Any Murdoch
owned publication (or network) is automatically suspect AFAIC. It is
guilty until proven innocent, and not the other way around.

If it did originate in Scotland, would that make it automatically
healthier?

it up)))

to)

Let's face it though it isn't a patch on all that crap in those pics

You are really making me wonder about the *size* of all those who got upset
by them <g>

That's your personal political bias speaking!

I say most anything coming from say...CBS...is suspect.

The Scottish are among the last people to be mocking the American diet.
They have a reputation of deep frying just about everything. There is no
shortage of news articles about their horrible diet, and their
government is often launching new campaigns to improve diet.

The newspaper is English and I assume the companies that wrote that stuff
was American and Canadian.

Where does Scottish come into it.
