Sweet Things

I used to rate a restaurant on the quality of its crème brûlée and the best, in my opinion, was at the Pony and Trap in Chew Magna who made a crème brûlée with passion fruit. However, even though I love my crème brûlée, the best dessert that I remember was from Letonies who filled an egg shell with cream and a mango sauce served with shortbread soldiers as a child, this was magical.
