Laurentine G Poet Acrostic

Tarta de Crema

The bliss is real as I sink into each bite
Arterial consequences I won't consider tonight
Recipe easy: just eggs, cream and sugar
Though perfection with added nutmeg and butter
A touch of vanilla - oh, I'm in lust!

Double the portion size - oh yes I must!
Egg custard is the unglamorous name

Custard me again and again and again
Reaching for more, I don't know how to stop
Eggsactly - my craving is over the top
Mmm murmured as I'm finally sated
A dessert I conclude is very highly rated

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2026 at 12:44 PM cleverly crafted poem here. Big congrats in my acrostic dessert challenge Laurentine G April 19, 2026 at 3:17 PM Thanks Andrea - seems so long ago I was eating this dessert in Spain :) thank you for my placement :)

Sara Kendrick April 7, 2026 at 4:51 AM Well, my father did enjoy his custard, me not so much unless my mother put chocolate in it. Thanks for sharing this contest entry with us. It reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K Laurentine G April 7, 2026 at 12:46 PM Thank you :)

Ink Empress April 5, 2026 at 1:45 PM Lolol the only custard i love is my grandmas. Now i cant look at it or have it again the same way as i did, as i read the line " Custard me again and again and again Reaching for more, I don't know how to stop" :D the thing about food poems etc is it always has this double meaning which can be interpreted from the level of understanding of the reader! This is beyond brilliant and now im inspired to do one! But not sure which one to do! I love chocolate! I am a chocoholic! Pleasure reading! Fave! Laurentine G April 5, 2026 at 3:19 PM Haha too funny! I almost slipped on this custard but rescued it just in time lol - leaning into duality mode that custard line is hilarious! No one shouts 'again' haha not mid custarding rofl!

Tania Kitchin April 5, 2026 at 12:16 PM LG, I love custard and this sounds delicious. I will put in my order. Best for the contest. Laurentine G April 5, 2026 at 1:02 PM They are Tania! Thank you for reading :)

David Kavanagh April 5, 2026 at 11:52 AM As with all things custard and eggy, consistency and a good beating is needed, and your line (Custard me again and again and again) is giving me the urge to have a custard pie fight, that’s if you’ve left any over lol! Great fun one for contest! Cheers David David Kavanagh April 5, 2026 at 2:39 PM (My animal instincts) I remember it well, was a bit embarrassed it got POTD, it was fun though, no custard pies in that one, hey you actually chanced a unicycle, bravo! Laurentine G April 5, 2026 at 1:56 PM I have tried a unicycle but not confident enough hands free to try throwing a custard pie at the same time haha - hope to see your acrostic in the contest, I smile whenever I recall your groundbreaking DAVID one :) good times :) David Kavanagh April 5, 2026 at 1:21 PM I’ve had a few food fights in work canteens over the years lol, they are absolutely brutal and brilliant, worst part is having to clean up the mess, never tried a unicycle though haha! Laurentine G April 5, 2026 at 1:01 PM I think learning to bake them myself would be a dangerous game, I'll hope I don't discover any similar ones outside of Spain :) I've never had a custard pie fight lol :) thank you for your fun comment - though I've imagined you now on a unicycle, mixing custard with one hand whilst chasing people with custard pies lol

Lin Lane April 5, 2026 at 8:31 AM Go easy on those cream tarts, LG. Remember what happened when you ate too many eclairs. lol My sweet tooth hardly ever gets sated. Lin Lane April 5, 2026 at 9:00 AM Thanks for the well wishes, LG and I wish the same fortune on your entry. Laurentine G April 5, 2026 at 8:35 AM They have giant ones in Spain Lin and I was super sizing my scoops for sure! I don't think I could overdose on custard - I've pushed the limits and not found them yet haha strange as I'm not really into desserts and only really eat cake socially (with an occasional urge to have black forest gateaux solo). Good luck in the contest :)
