甜点可以通过多种方式提供,但仍然可以食用:它可以直接从烤箱中出来,也可以在冰箱里花费很长时间。它可以预先包装在塑料中,例如Oreos或Snickers。但是在A.V.俱乐部的口味测试实验室,我们今天发现一个甜点交付系统几乎是一个完全的失败:罐头。我们应该知道,考虑到上周的味觉测试证明,罐装面包和罐装奶酪不太好。但是,将足够的糖放在某件事中,必然会好起来的,不是吗?也许不是。

在过去的一年中,我们尝试了三种不同的罐头美味佳肴。首先是Heinz-brand Spotted Dick,这显然是英国常见的甜点,但在美国这里是Std的症状。(英国人,好像您从我们身上进口了一种称为“患病公鸡”的甜点。)我从看罐子里得到的感觉(在我的桌子上一直在我的桌子上引起笑声大约九个月),这不仅是鸡巴英国人吃的东西,这是古老的英国人吃的东西。罐子甚至看起来很老式,带有五颜六色的标签显示内部的东西:基本上是带有葡萄干的面包布丁。它包含基本成分 - 糖,面粉,水,植物油,干毛奶等。看起来有点像死亡,但大多数罐头食品也是如此。

接下来是新英格兰风格印度布丁的东西,我从mainegoodies.com, which also sells the canned bread we ate last week. None of us had ever heard of Indian pudding, but since it's from Maine, we assume it's Native American, not, y'know, them other Indians. Strangely, though, the can describes it as "a truly unique Yankee dessert!" It also contains pretty basic stuff: water, molasses, corn meal, milk, butter, evaporated cane juice, salt, and—mysteriously—"proprietary spices." Ooh. Also: "No MSG! No trans fat!" Still, half a cup of this stuff will deliver 170 calories.

最终,一罐巨大的爱尔兰威士忌蛋糕,由Intrepid Test Reader Rick寄给我们(几周前与几周前的培根一起发送给我们)。它是由一家名为Caledonian Kitchen的公司在美国制造的,其巨人可以采用许多文字和外观的图形。188asia金宝博官网关于爱尔兰威士忌本身的历史以及蛋糕的故事,还有一些关于爱尔兰威士忌本身的历史。根据罐头的说法,“这是一种美味,浓密而湿润的蛋糕。纯奶油黄油,山核桃和金色葡萄干的混合物很好地补充了优质的爱尔兰威士忌。”它继续说:“我们使用自己独特的过程,在罐头中轻轻煮熟,以保留通常在通常的烤箱烘烤过程中丢失的善良和风味。”听起来不错,对吧?这三个都有天然成分,没有什么能使过渡到罐头的不可能的……

那味道:But they did, with varying degrees of fail-osity. Let's start with the worst: Indian Pudding. It looks and smells like extraordinarily wet Alpo, and the strength of its odor poured out of the can immediately. If it's possible for a food to be smooth and gritty at the same time, Indian Pudding is it. Imagine semi-solid poo soaking in a can of poo-colored liquid, and you've got the visual. Naturally, no one wanted to taste it, but brave Dave Chang stepped up to the plate. Even his hardened palate couldn't handle the sickly sweetness. Imagine eating pumpkin-pie filling straight from the can, only with pumpkin-pie-filling juice surrounding it, and extra pungency. And corn. This is serious business, and we'd like to hear from people who actually eat this stuff. Maybe if you make it from scratch, there's something to it, but in a can? Big, big loser.

Next up, spotted dick. It didn't look good plopping out of its little can, either, but most everyone here at TT labs would rather eat an entire can of this stuff (which turned out to be slightly expired, by the way) than a bite of Indian pudding. Spotted dick is maybe what we were hoping for with the canned bread last week—a little moister, a little sweeter. Not terrible, but certainly not something we'd go out of our way to eat again. Did I mention it's called spotted dick? Do sitcoms in England have a field day with this? "My dick isn't spotted or moist enough, and it smells like it's turned!"

Finally, the Irish Whiskey Cake, which I feel would have actually found some real fans if it weren't for the fact that when we opened it, there appeared to be a fairly sizeable spot of mold on it. I guess that's isn't surprising, considering it doesn't have any preservatives, but still—ewww. Also, the thing weighs about 900 pounds. If you eat one-sixth of this can (about four ounces), you've consumed 659 calories and 43 grams of fat. A Big Mac, for comparison, weighs 7.5 ounces and has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat. Yes, that is totally fucking insane. Still, the cake is pretty tasty, with a seriously strong whiskey flavor. It better be the tastiest thing in the world with that many calories. Regardless of its halfway-decent taste, most testers remained scared of the whiskey cake's power. It remains on the kitchen table, with various plastic utensils sticking out of it. A failure in a sea of them, sadly.
