silver Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I used to love parkin when I lived in Sheffield. Can't really get it in the south (though I have found it as part of a Yorkshire food hamper). Might order one for myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekmek Kataifi is crispy kataifi pastry covered in vanilla custard flavoured with mastiha (an aromatic resin), then stacked with whipped cream and sprinkled with chopped nuts and cinnamon. Ekmek Politiko is a bread pudding soaked in syrup with traditional kaimaki ice cream (often made with buffalo milk, this vanilla flavouring made with ground orchid root). I've never tasted it, but I agree, it looks nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to really dislike all custard until I tried my first vanilla slice and since then I really like it, either eaten hot or cold! 😅 I think my dislike before was down to really poor school dinners. I'll happily try Ekmek and this one too it looks good! 6 hours ago, Prisca said: Galaktoboureko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'll try the Galaktoboureko, thanks! They all look delicious. And of course, in the Butterfly Lounge, there's no such thing as calories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I shall take a slice of each please, make the lemon bundt the biggest slice! However my all time favourite cake is Genoa cake! Christmas cake with a marzipan topping is my second favourite, I could eat that all year round! But you'll have to wait another 4 months before I share any here 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
