Pudding goodness. Involving Ice-cream Sundaes!

 

Date: 18/8/13

Background: Basically, there is this fit Fish and Chip restaurant in Henley-In-Arden. For those in the know it is called “The Finest Catch”. So my Sunday consisted of a lovely date with my lovely girl (Laura), and was treated to fishy’s chippy’s and this FIT ice cream sundae!

What: Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae

How much?: £3.50

What was Good: For just £3.50 you get a whole heap of vanilla ice cream, absolutely covered in deliciously thick, sweet and decadent hot chocolate fudge sauce, and is topped off with a wafer and chocolate flake! You know me, give me an ice cream sundae and I am pretty dang happy. But fudge sauce is totally and blatantly my favourite sauce of all time. It is thick and sticky, and as it spends quality time with the cold ice cream it gets all chewified and even tastier than before. I was so happy sharing this dessert, I can definitely see why Laura has fallen in love with this place. After all I was pre-warned how sexy and delicious this Sundae was!!!

What was Bad: Errrrrm. Maybe something cakey could be added? To soak up the sauciness. Maybe. But that is just to make this pudding even more tempting than it already is!

Would I have it again?: Yes. I look forward to it

A Sizzling Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sundae

 

Date: 29/11/12

Background: Stacey and I decided to make a trip to our “local”, The Yenton, because we love it so much there that on Four Square, Stacey is Mayor *looks impressed*. After dinner, we wanted an after dinner puddingy treat.

What: Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sundae- Vanilla ice cream, with chunks of chocolate chip cookie, topped with whipped cream and drizzle with toffee sauce

Where: The Yenton, Sizzling Pub, Erdington

How Much: £3.49

What was Good: Stacey really was attracted to this dessert! The minute we sat down at the table the pudding menu caught her eye, and specifically a glowing image of this sundae beauty. So naturally when it came to choosing, I think the choice was already made! The toffee sauce was really thick and treacly- I feel as if I have tasted it before from another establishment… dot dot dot. The cookie pieces themselves were packed into the pudding, not just a scanty couple here and there. Also, for once, there was not TOO much whipped/squirty cream!

What was Bad: Personally, I did not think this was the best tasting pudding that there ever was. It was not extremely special and mind-blowing. The cookies were obviously pre-made pre-bought ones, and consequently they were dry with a hint of e-number for preserving and flavouring. It no way near as disappointing as the last pudding I have from a Sizzling Pub… But it just lacked that special something that I look for so often. It didn’t help that the ice cream had ice crystals again… Which really can ruin the texture and enjoyment of the whole dairy-fied desserty element… I also would recommend maybe using double chocolate chip cookies? Or something like a famous brand of dark chocolate American cookies with a vanilla cream filling? That is what springs to mind when I hear cookies and cream… And make it cheaper definately!!

Would I Buy It Again: Me, probably not, but I think Stacey would!
