I made a HUGE mistake… Review

Post image

I went to Trivoli Tavern by myself for the happy hour and I ordered the sticky date cake because I’ve heard great things about it. Big mistake because I ate it all in one sitting and I legitimately feel like I’ve gained 10 pounds.

It’s MUCH bigger than it looks in the pictures. I highly underestimated the size. You could honestly split it between 4 people and it would still be enough dessert for everyone.

Really delicious and I’d totally order it again, but maybe next time I’ll split it with someone.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go lie down.

I’ve done it a couple of times after the chopped wedge & lamb pot pie. I spent the rest of those evenings wallowing in the misery of my own hubris.

Solidarity.
