Parents vs. Plushies

( Round 2 )

Everybody come look at my lameass American montblancs! :DDD Eventually I'll cut one in half so I can take a picture of the inside, but it's custard, a chestnut in the middle, whipped cream on top, and then chestnut paste on top of THAT. ...the chestnut paste, I mean, again "it tastes okay but doesn't really look right." I tried to make it out of the chestnuts I already had because I had this recipe I thought would work... :/ It was lumpy. Lessons learned: bake the pastry before anything else goes in, and buy real pate des marrons.

I had to pay $9 a jar to get these chestnuts in syrup. The recipe overall cost $18+ to make. Americans, I mean, you're still stuck on hot dogs, which are famous for being made out of the god-knows-what parts of pigs. You SUCK. Catch up with the rest of the world, please. Start appreciating chestnuts outside of lameass Christmas carols.

EDIT: I have a crush on Jon Stewart.

EDIT: Montblanc guts! The layers of custard and whipped cream show up better than I expected. These things received a rave review from my mother.

Mom: They're better than SEX!

Me: No, that was last week...
