My First Bread Pudding

The best bread pudding I have ever had was the first one I ever ate. This was nice because it started my obsession for this dessert and my hunt to find one that is just as good or better............I have yet to find one by the way. I got this bread pudding from a place called Flaps in Potomac, MD. Unfortunately, it closed down and I only ordered it once. It has been about 7 or so years since I had it, and I can still taste it to this day.

My father ordered it and I had no idea what I was getting into. I saw bread pudding on the menu and immediately was turned off because I am not one to order pudding for a dessert at a nice restaurant, especially one that has bread in it. But, I trusted my Dad's taste and went with it.

The bread pudding came out on a plate with two spoons. It was shaped in a square and had chunks of bread in it. There was a sauce drizzled over all of it, covering the bottom of the plate so it could swim in it. I dove my spoon in and it slid in easily to scoop out a bite. When the spoon hit my tongue I tasted the best combination of flavors I could think of, but never really thought they worked together............. bourbon and vanilla. What a great combo these two made. The texture of the loaf in my mouth was so smooth and delicious. The bread was still warm.

We proceeded to finish the dessert and I continued to order it anytime I found it on the menu in hopes to find a better one.
