after dinner sneeze

t says:  On Saturdays in the Rittenhouse Market, there’s a guy that sells little baked thingees called canneles.

Ever had a canele?

They are these wonderfully delicious cylindrical treats that are a little crisp on the outside (kind of like burnt sugar) and egg-custardy (not like soft serve ice cream – kind of like a really really moist French Cruller) on the inside.

I’ve seen these at Garces Trading Company, too – but trust me they are not the same.  The inside isn’t as eggy/moist, and the outside definitely does not have that crisped exterior.

So when I saw the guy on Rittenhouse, I told him how I felt …

me:  You know, they have these at Garces Trading Company, too.  But to be honest, I yours are  better.
him:  Yea I think so too.  But Garces knows it – he’s had mine a couple of times …

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
