Sure, it may difficult to post a picture of soggy bread and make it look appetizing too, but please take my word that this poutinga (Corfu bread pudding) was outlandishly delicious and went just perfectly with a little cup of espresso.

I'll post the recipe a little later, but this poutinga is made with orange zest, vanilla, sugar, raisins, prunes, and is topped with an apricot-citrus sauce. The walnuts on top add a bit of crunch.
Wow, this was so damn tasty. Have you ever eaten something that instantaneously transports you to a distant place which is somehow familiar through taste and texture? This feeling, which I don't have a name for, is what struck me as I bit into this poutinga. Its flavors were so vibrant and unexpected.
After a four day weekend, preparing myself for work is a struggle. But the poutinga made it much easier. There is a lot left over, so I think I'll take the remainder to my co-workers and let you know what they think when I update this entry with the recipe. I have a feeling they're going to appreciate this one.
