I give up! I have been on these boards for eleven years now and I have decided my taste buds must be sooo different from the majority of DISers. Back in the day, the rave was the grapefruit cake at HBD was the best thing ever......tried it--totally NOT impressed.
Recently, the hoopla was about the bread pudding at 'Ohana. I remember reading frequently that we would want to lick the plate clean. We had a party of eleven and not one of us thought it was "all that".
Skoolbread-whatever
Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes at DHS-bad
Zebra Domes at Boma (kids like 'em--not me)
Don't get me started on the shortcake at HDDR! Gross nursing home food!
Anyone remember when you just HAD to have a Beavertail? They were ok at best, IMO...
I could go on and on...
I don't even know if they still have it, but one rave years back was about the milk chocolate creme brulee at Fulton's. We felt it lived up to the hype.
Some of our personal favorites have been the banana creme brulee at Kona, No Way Jose at B&C, the banana thing at FF, the lemon thing at Jiko (heard it's gone), the sherry trifle at Gardenview Lounge--so amazing TO ME...I sincerely mean it when I say YMMV! Taste is such a personal thing! I have learned to ignore the reviews (for the most part) and order what sounds good to me (unless there have been a lot of warnings about an item).
