Puddings and Pornography

A new cocktail bar, Tart, which has a porn and puddings theme, has turned classic desserts into alcoholic tipples.
Puddings and Pornography
Cake and alcohol a perfect combination
Leisure is all about experience, with many new ventures looking for different themes to entice clients into their venue rather than buying and consuming cheap drinks at home. Tart, in Smithfield, London, is a new cocktail bar which takes its inspiration from both pornography and puddings. Thankfully the pornography is on the walls and the puddings have been mixed into cocktails. Examples include:
The Lemon Meringue Pie – vodka and lemon cured topped with a disc of meringue The Tiramisu – rum, coffee liqueur and mascarponeThe Rhubarb Crumble Custard – rum, frangelico, rhubarb puree and custard.

Could this help to stem a downward trend in desserts?
Both the traditional eating timetable and the traditional three-course meal seem to be dying out, with over a third of consumers tending to just order a main course when they eat out. So what better way to start a new trend in desserts than to add them to alcohol. Alternatively operators could make a savoury version in an attempt to reinvent “the liquid lunch”.
