55 South, Franklin, TN

55 South in Franklin, TN, has it going on! I stopped by after a meeting at the fantastic Williamson County Public Library with its energetic director. I shall start with the toasted marshmallows. Totally superfluous but delightful garnish. This BP is chocolate and I don't have any idea what else was in it. Apparently the restaurant changes flavors often, and you have to be "in the know" to know it's there prior to arriving. I couldn't find it listed on any of the menus on the website. It was perfectly firm in texture, and the taste was a lovely basic chocolate (I fear it had some barely detectable fancy ingredient and I'm doing a disservice). I got it to go and ended up eating it cold, which should have been a no-no, but was a yes-yes!

Price: $7.95, but enough for sharing.
Raisins: Nope
Sauce: Nope
Ice cream: Yes, premium vanilla

Thanks to Beth of Eat.Drink.Smile.http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/, who enthusiastically recommended this BP at the Nashville Food Bloggers Holiday Shindig.

A shout out to Wine with Lisa, who swears this Louisiana BP with Buttermilk Bourbon Sauce is the best ever. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, even though it has raisins.

Thanks for the shout out! After the holidays, I will make for you my version
of La Style Bread Pudding WITHOUT RAISINS! I believe that you will think its one of the best TRADITIONAL STYLE BP you've tasted. Being from La, I have eaten my fair amount of BP, I think its the OFFICIAL DESSERT OF LA!
So, Get your spoon ready for ONE of the best BP's you've eaten!

Welcome Bread Pudding Lovers!

I rarely make BP, but I seek it. If I made it, I'd eat it all so this is the best way I can indulge, one portion at a time.

The rating system goes from one BP fork or thingy (yuck) to four BP (divine) forks or thingies (thingies were predecessors to the forks system).

Note: I do NOT like raisins in my BP, particularly those sneaky yellow raisins, so I'll make it clear if raisins, nuts or other accessories are in the BP.

Another preference is that I feel BP should stand alone. If it needs sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, etc., then it gets a lower rating. If those extras are just extras and the BP is good all by itself, I'll indicate that.
