In restaurants, when someone orders wine, the varieties or year is always mentioned, and the bottle is brought out. Yet, when someone orders dessert, it’s the “house” dessert. That is the way things are.

 

This being the case, we assume, and take great pleasure from doing so, that at the Nobel Prize awards ceremony the dessert was called Poire Belle Hélène 2008, or what amounts to the same thing (I think): Jalancina Half Pears in Syrup with Chocolate

We understand that the dessert gained a high score. This is something that can happen, or not, that’s life – it’s doesn’t always have to be bad: Pears with chocolate.
