Last week when my cousin+1 were here they asked me what they should see/do. I had sent them a 10-day travel plan I originally wrote for my brother. But shock, horror, when they said "but what about the food? Have you got any tips?", and I did, but I had not written them down. So I did my best, considering I was dealing with a semi-vegetarian picky eater. I asked if they liked desserts to which the answer was an urgent yes. So this was my one "must-eat" tip: the ubiquitous crème brûlée, which they had never eaten.
Since I didn't make it myself, I think it would be cheating to post the recipe (easily found online anyway...) but here's a little poem I wrote (here's one I made earlier!), inspired by an email he sent me earlier, thanking me for everything and especially for having introduced them to this classic (lol)
Your smooth, homogenous interior
Hidden under that hard, crunchy shell
Equal only to your smell, superior
Divinely-inspired pastel
Present in all the best palettes
Degusted after delicate croquettes
Pleasing to all discerning palates
Delicious even from kitchenettes
Behold! The crème brûlée
Break its armor with a bayonet
You'll certainly be enchanté
Supplanting the need for a trebuchet.
