Example 1: What is flan? Unset jello with pudding thrown in? It's disgusting and reminds me of baby food, except I would never feed a child that.
Example 2: Why do they make tres leches cake? It's like a buttermilk cake drenched in milk. It is completely backwards! You put the milk in and then bake! I honestly just find it vile.
However, tonight I decided to eat my words.
I was shopping in highland park with my mom and when she gets hungry we treat it as though she is a 6 month old famished. We stop whatever we are doing and go wherever is the nearest.
Taco Diner is like the Taco Bell of highland park. Except the tacos are about $12 and the children running around have shoes on. Oh, and there is no drive through, but you get it.
Anyways, I have low blood sugar. More like at one point my doctor said "Oh hey your sugar levels are low. Um if you feel faint just drink some orange juice." That was about 6 years ago but I milk it for what it's worth just so I can eat desserts and not feel judgement upon me.
So I was craving sugar, like always, and told my mom my sugar was low. She got the waitress over and said to bring a dessert quickly.
This is what she came back with.
It looked pretty solid. I figured it was just what they used for birthday cakes.
It tasted delicious and I devoured the entire thing within minutes. My mom now thinks I need to go back and get my blood sugar checked. Oops.
When the waitress came back I asked her what I had just eaten because I figured I'd go home and bake it this weekend. She responded, "Tres Leches."
I was mortified and I will continue to think it was birthday cake. However, if you are in the highland park area go there and order the tres leches cake and just forgive that it has condensed milk poured all over it.
