I lived in Portugal for a few years and they have so many Viennettas that we don't get over here! Praline, cookies and cream, cappuccino, strawberry and white chocolate... Heaven Grin
I KNEW there was a reason that all the hipsters are moving to Portugal.

I don't know why anyone likes Vienetta. It's the most boring desert I have ever experienced Grin

My brother is allergic to most desserts (severe egg allergy) so every year, mum got him a vienetta for his birthday cake. For his 21st he finally came clean that he fucking hates vienetta 🤣

I'm imagining a Vienetta/Baileys type île flottante

That sounds delicate DrWank

I am picturing something more of iceberg in the sea type proportions

Pineapple?!
I'm sure I've had cappuccino flavour.

The after-eights can be life rafts in the Bailey's sea

I reckon a lemony one could be rather nice, with sorbet and lemon curd rippled through

This was an actual thing. It was awesome 😊😊

TyneTeas · 30/12/2021 20:00

Did not know there had been a lemon one either!

My favourite was always the biscuit one - then they stopped it for years and just recently I saw one in the wild in Tesco so snapped that up sharpish.

I honestly don't think there was ever a pineapple one, not in England anyway.
