Lagniappe Bayou Kitchen, Goodlettsville, TN

This bread pudding deserves ten forks. Bread pudding is rarely appealing to see in a photo like this but I had to capture that moment after I tasted this decadence. This whole blog started because of New Orleans BP, and this here would make me start it all over again. Thankfully, this BP is about 15 minutes drive from home.

I ordered it for Easter dinner because I wanted a treat even though we are self-isolating because of COVID-19/Coronavirus. This spot is hard to find so if you make a left off the 65N exit to Long Hollow Pike, turn right by the gas station and go around to the parallel street. First you'll see a seafood spot and Lagniappe is around the corner. I've been thinking about this stuff nonstop and figuring out when I can order again in alignment with my rare visits out of the house. Go by and pick up an order or 3. You'll be glad you did. It has coconut and no raisins, and the sauce is divine.

Sunflower Cafe, Nashville, TN

Now I love some texture and unexpected combinations, which seem to
be specialty at this "meatless and three" semi-elegant version of Copper Kettle. There's no affiliation, they just remind me of one another, but one vegetarian (SC) and the other decidedly not, though veggie friendly (CK). Sunflower Cafe is tucked among the other tasty treasure troves across the street from One Hundred Oaks Plaza/Mall.

As usual, I went just because a friend told me about the BP. I could not resist (as if I ever do), a restaurant that had the courage to mix chocolate, mango AND coconut. I can't imagine there are so many bread pudding and coconut fans as to make this a permanent part of any menu, but I'm happy to be wrong on this one. It was... pretty good. I imagine that it was lacking the fat components that would make it a 4-fork. I generally don't expect to feel virtuous when eating BP, and appreciated the flavors that made it feel a little sinful.

Price: I can't remember and it seems to be off the regular menu,but no dessert is over $6.75
Raisins: No
Sauce: Yes, vanilla
Ice cream: No

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.
