RE: NOT just any Vanilla slice but a homemade Vanilla slice here at work!!!

in #food8 years ago

Really you don't know what a vanilla slice is? I thought they were famous all over the world. But obviously not :)
Well it has custard in the middle with pastry top and bottom with some white icing on the top :)

Sort:  

I was ignorant also. Thanks for describing. Is this a New England regional desert?

I just read this on wikipedia - Interesting!!!

vanilla slice, custard slice, also known as the Napoleon, is a French pastry whose exact origin is unknown. Its modern form was influenced by improvements of Marie-Antoine Carême.

Thank you I have heard and ate a Napoleon. What a treat from your coworker. Sorry for being lazy, I should have looked it up. Have a good day.

Yeah, no. Never heard of it. Sounds sweet!

Yeah they are sweet. If you get a change definitely try one :)
