[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's a sweet vs. non-sweet difference, but British desserts typically have more diverse flavor profiles. It's "sweet plus" -- citrus or spice or fruit or whatever. [/quote] Well, my pies would have "diverse" flavor profiles... tart Granny Smiths with a sweet streusel crust, tart Key Lime, etc. I actually can't handle the sweetness of many of the European desserts (including puddings in the UK, cakes in Vienna, etc.) because I don't drink coffee or tea and there is nothing to offset the sweet. I don't eat pecan pie or chocolate pie, so can't defend those either, they are too sweet for me.[/quote]
