In Somalia, we were familiar with creme caramel. It was known as doolshe banaadir and was served in some restaurants. It was also one of the desserts that were prepared in our homes whenever guests were invited. Creme brulee is the richer cousin of creme caramel but we were never introduced in Somalia. We met in Paris, the city of love. Yes, it happened at first sight.

We were having dinner in a restaurant and as we were finishing our main course, we saw the waiter serve a pretty-looking dessert to a couple sitting near us. We did not know what it was and we watched them tap their spoons onto a glassy crust and saw them spoon out a smooth, creamy custard. We were intrigued.

When it was our turn to order dessert, we did not point to a selection on the dessert menu. We did not say anything in the French that we did not speak. We just pointed at the empty ramekins on the table next to ours. Love.
