Domino's Creme Brulee

**paddy** · 17th December 2009, 20:17

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?

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).

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

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

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