Crème brûlée

Crème brûlée (/ˌkrɛm brˈl/; French pronunciation: [kʁɛm bʁy.le]), also known as burnt cream, crema catalana, or Trinity cream is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. It is normally served at room temperature. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can have a variety of other flavorings.

History

The earliest known reference to crème brûlée as it is known today appears in François Massialot's 1691 cookbook, and the French name was used in the English translation of this book, but the 1731 edition called the same recipe crème anglaise 'English cream'. In the early eighteenth century, the dessert was called "burnt cream" in English.

In Britain, a version of crème brûlée (known locally as "Trinity Cream" or "Cambridge burnt cream") was introduced at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1879 with the college arms "impressed on top of the cream with a branding iron", though crème brûlée itself was not invented at Cambridge. The story goes that the recipe was from an Aberdeenshire country house and was offered by an undergraduate, to the college cook, who turned it down. However, when the student became a Fellow, he managed to convince the cook to serve it.

Creme Brulee

by: Sonic Youth

Aaaaaaaaaaoooow
Whoooow
Riding down the road it nearly struck me blind
You and me are burning in the summertime
Let's go find some shady ground
Gotta get rid of that king hell throng
You and me are burning in the summertime
You and me are burning in the summertime
Scrape, scrape, scrapin' melted cheese
Say I love you, later please
You and me are burning in the summertime
You and me are burning in the summertime
Dark spots floating in front of my eyes
Mum said she turned it and squattin' flies
You and me are burning in the summertime
You and me are burning in the summertime
Last night I dreamed I kissed Neil Young
If I was a boy I guess it would be fun
You and me are burning in the summertime
You and me are burning in the summertime
Don't you know a city where the horses grow?
Green malls hanging chillin' crows
You and me are burning in the summertime
You and me are burning in the summertime
I said it before and I'll say it again:
