Harriet Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 31 minutes ago, DJtrippyT said: Why IS creme brûlée always so small? I demand an investigation I have two three hypotheses: 1. They're fancy, and size correlates negatively with fanciness. 2. The ideal ratio of custard to brulee requires a shallow dish. A deep dish requires a high custard to brulee ratio OR brulee that is too thick. shallow dishes of mighty diameter are disallowed because of 1. 3. The powers that be want us to feel a constant slight dissatisfaction; a diffuse yet persistent ache that drives us to work hard in order to earn money and spend it to power the merciless wheels of capitalism and corporate power while trying to fill the under-bruleed voids in our hearts. Solution: order three creme brulees. Eat all while making aggressive eye contact with the waiters, other diners, and your husband to ensure no one a) comments or b) tries to take your brulees. 7 2 2 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Raincloak Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Alternate solution: buy a blowtorch. Make your own dang brulee.

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 The cat is out of the bag. I made an announcement that details everything, you should see it as a red banner with the title "What we've been hinting at" at the top of the page. Props to @Elastigirl for guessing correctly. You win a sense of pride and accomplishment Some of you came up with some great ideas, if I'm ever stuck for new ideas for the forums I'll just pretend we are going to release something then pick the best guesses. I do apologize if we oversold the announcement, but I wanted to generate some hype. 14 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment
