Glorious Food Moment: Sticky Toffee Pudding

During my stay in the Scottish countryside of Culloden Moor there was only one restaurant in the entire town and I happened to be staying a stone's throw away from it. It also just so happened that the restaurant served the most delicious dessert I have ever had in my entire life. No joke.

It was sweet, rich, flavorful and so moist it just about melted in my mouth. Instead of ice cream on the side I ate it with a warm, velvety custard that I almost drank straight out of the gravy boat it was served.

If you've never had sticky toffee pudding I suggest you run to the nearest Scottish/English restaurant. Or click on the links for recipes to try to make it yourself.

I think it's a perfect Fall dessert in any country.

Oh my lord I'm so with you!!! I literally had sticky toffee pudding every night we were in the UK! Thank goodness I thought to try it on the first night so that I could have it six times, haha! I made my husband order other desserts so we could taste, nothing compares. I'm obsessed. I really need to figure out how to make it for the holidays.
