I’ve been watching more Great British Baking Show (what the pregnant wife wants to watch, we watch).
They did an episode where everybody had to make Creme Brulee.
I would have failed that on purpose. I HATE creme brulee. I hate it.
I love a good Spanish Flan. The sweet, syrupy custard. Smooth and creamy.
Creme brulee is a flan burnt to fuck-all death. It is the texture of the crispy crust that clashes with the creme. It’s an armored flan and it doesn’t want to be eaten.
I am 100% sure creme brulee was “invented” by a French chef who was trying to make a flan and burnt the shit out of it. Rather than admit he fucked it up, he tried to pass it off as something new and special. It’s bullshit is what it is.
If I were on that show, I’d of just made a flan and told the judges I won’t make a French flan abortion because it’s gross.
