I love creme brulee!

Any other creme brulee lovers out there?

Oh yes, I love creme brulee. Some people look down on it these days as being a bit 70s/80s, but really, it's a timeless dessert classic.

Someone wise - I forget who - once said that it's also one of the best ways you can test the quality of a restaurant, alongside correctly preparing an omelette, cooking a medium steak, and checking the quality/depth of their wine list.

I think I really agree. You can taste when they use cheap eggs or put too much milk in, or don't get the brulee crust right. It's a dessert that rewards quality ingredients and careful, correct preparation. Great stuff. :drool:
 
Perhaps you should mail-order a copy of their album 'Just Desserts' then, I'm sure Les McQueen would be delighted. Apologies if you don't get the reference, but to explain here's a couple of quick excerpts:

For those of you not in the know, these are from a British comedy series called 'The League of Gentlemen'. All the main characters, both male and female are performed by the three men who write it.
 
^ As soon as I saw this thread, "Voodoo Lady" began playing in my mind...

Never had the dessert, though. Sounds nice.

:D
 
When I worked at a restaurant, I was the guy who made desserts and guess who got to torch the Brulee? :devil:

Sure was a nice way to work off some stress. :p
 
Never had it. Looks good, would love to try it.
I would make it myself, but I wouldn't know if I did it right since I've never had it before.
 
Meh. Food poisoning sucks.

Buy pasteurized eggs. Can't speak for everywhere, but they're getting pretty easy to find in the USA.

Creme brulee is one of my favorties. I love the idea of getting out a torch to caramelize the sugar on top, too. Great dessert and pyrotechnics.
