Domino's Creme Brulee

[paddy]

I had a Creme Brulee the other day at Galbraiths Ale House. It was the first one I've ever had and it was delightful. I must say though, I've always maintained that anything you need a gas torch to cook has to be good.

Anyway, what do I have in my letterbox, but an advert from Domino's Pizza for a Creme Brulee Puffle. Now I must say, it's not very Creme Brulee like (other than the fact they both contain custard). It looks like a lump of puff pizza crust with custard in the middle. I must say though, I'm wondering what it's like.

Are you wondering if something from domino's is as nice as something from the almighty ale shrine that is galbraiths?

No! Good catch though. Just that the Domino's advert reminded me of the REAL Creme Brulee I had a The Almighty Ale Shrine That Is Galbraiths. :-)

The creme brulee's are awesome! But then i would say that, wouldnt i? :whistle:

But seriously, it is custard and caramel kibble wrapped in a triangle of puff pastry and a complete pain in the ass to make! But they are quite possibly the best thing to come out of dominos HQ for a while (they are normally only good for stupid ideas).

Not quite... just down the road in Porirua... but we do deliver to whitby ;)

I keep meaning to try one... The lava cake is pretty damn good :)

I do not know what a Creme Brulee is, but good call on frequenting Galbraith's Ale House.

Oh yes! Also a major PITA to make and they never come out the damn pans without breaking!!!!

But so sooooo good... also worth a try is the new pastas, although the retail price is a little expensive... but well worth it as a meal for one, especially the beef one in a puff bowl :drool:

That's okay. It's not really pub food anyway - more like fancy restaurant food. Having said that, I haven't really been able to figure out what "Pont Neuf Chips" are on the Galbraith menu either. Best as I can tell - they are chips. What the heck is happening to pub food nowadays.

Yeah a mate got a steak there before the Jarvis Cocker concert a couple of weeks ago. It was tiny.

Stick to the ale :beer:

have you tried the chicken and feta pizza yet? considering trying one tomorrow, as well as the puffle.

[MisterD]

I do not know what a Creme Brulee is,

A little pottle of thick set custard, with brown sugar on top melted to a crust...the melting is usually done with the aforementioned blow-torch* but was traditionally done with a special metal tool (disc ona handle) heated up in the fire and plonked on top.


*this rates as the most bought / least used kitchen device ever.:2thumbsup

Anyone who orders anything from Dominos and expects it to be good needs their head read.

Worst pizzas ever - and the other 'add-ons' are worse.

Hand cut, slightly bigger chips....rather than going through the chipper, or from a packet.

"Pont Neuf" is actually the size of the chip, but what I put above is probably what they're going off, like jullienne or miropoix.

if it is from Domino's it will be shit.

creme brulee is not difficult to make, the key is good eggs, full cream milk, and proper vanilla pods. If you can make runny custard the proper way, you'll be fine.

[martybabe]

I can't stand crème brulee but I ordered it at every visit to our favourite restaurant. It was purely in an effort to get the French waitress to say Crème brulee as many times as possible. It danced off her tongue and across the table like an angels song.

She melted my heart as the flame melted the sugar, sadly she would not marry me and my fave restaurant these days is looked after by a male waitress who speaks in a very camp voice of Pavlovas , sticky toffee pudding and ballet, my love of puddings is no more :(:lol:

In your opinion maybe, but i think our 1000s of customers might disagree with you there.

Also, have you tried every single one of their sides? Or every single one of their pizzas? I can speak from experience in saying that most the pizzas are damn good, and all the sides are.

One other point though, it makes a HUGE difference to the end product in who actually makes it, a lot of people tend to over-top them, which to most sounds like good value, but it actually makes the pizza taste terrible.

Pizza making is an art ;). I'd like to see you make better whilst producing up to 100 pizzas in an hour.

[huff3r]

Havent tried that one myself yet, even at my prices i refuse to pay extra for chicken :lol:

Mostly cos i just dont like chicken pizzas though...

But the puffles.... sure they might not be "proper" creme brulee, but thats not the point. They are certainly very yummy and thats all that matters isn't it?

:lol:

Did you not even notice that is in America? Dominos in America shares only the name and a few pizza recipes with Dominos here. They have totally different equipment, they do sandwiches! And clearly their work ethic is totally different. If you saw our food safety scores, i think you'd find they match or even better many top restuarants. Especially at the Porirua store :D

Yes, yes and thrice yes, but you dont do pies....proper pies....mince and cheese pies....with sauce......see....

Actually, last time I did hjave a Dominos I spent the next day on the khazi. It sort of inspired a marketing campaign that I submitted to Domino HQ, went like this.....

When the bottom has fallen out of your world

Why not try a Domino's

Then watch the world fall out of your bottom

Dominos

Squeeze your head, it helps

Not heard back just yet, must be busy with their new Turkey and Ecoli Christmas Pizza Special or something...

I'm pretty sure that pizza would fail. Badly. The Ecoli would have no chance against a 270 degree oven. I'm not kidding. That thing is fucken hot, kills anything.

Couldn't you just buy two pizza's and invert one on top of the other? That's essentially a pie isn't it?

[meteor]

Just had that puffle thing from Dominoes, was shit, also had a pastry pasta thing, that was shit too, also had some chicken kickers, that they had to run out to me cause they forgot to give me them, they were shit as well. Got 2 helpings of chunky chips, they were two small pizza boxes of steak fries that numbered about 15 per box, and you guessed it, they were shit too. BUT the pizza was ok, we were hungry tho'. Won't be going back there in a lifetime!

Well, no not really

Thats what us in Norf Laaaandaaan call an eyetie sandwich

Good suggestion though

But a pie is a pie

We used to have a mince pie pizza... it was terrible :lol:

But maybe if you get a baconn and egg pizza on puff crust, the it has pastry like a pie... just no top... (what bacon and egg pie has a top anywayz?!)
