Nights of passion?



This morning I was looking through one of those leaflets that you get from kebab places.
I've never bought a kebab in my life from one of these places, the odd burger when wandering home drunk after clubbing but never a kebab.
For some strange reason I always peek at the menu, willing the place to be nice but knowing that it won't.
This one made me laugh this morning, one of the desserts is called Nights of passion.
What sort of dessert could this be I wondered thinking it would have to be something insanely dark and rich.
A gooey chocolate cake of some kind? I think that with a name like that it implies stickiness and something that you can only eat in small bites at a time. Here was the description

"creamy moist carrot cake"
Carrot cake?! A nights of passion is carrot cake? Carrot cake is many things, all of them delicious but nights of passion it is not!
Carrot cake is homely, simple and an excuse to eat cake as you class it as one of your 5 a day.
The best carrot cakes also comes with cream cheese frosting, once again yummy yes. Passionate no
How do others feel about this? And has anyone else ever had a weird dessert experience?

  2. Really, I honestly didn't know that. I just can't equate carrots with passion for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my youngest brother ate soooooooo many raw carrots when he was little that he went an orangey colour. It looked like a bad fake tan. My poor mum must have been the only parent told by the doctor to not let her child have any more raw veg of that kind, and yes I'm telling the truth.

  3. I love carrot cake (I'm trying to resist the urge to add "with a passion" :P), but I would definitely also not call it a passionate dessert.
