Would you choose one if given a choice, to try/because you like them?
Or never? Or it depends how green tea flavour is married with the type dessert?
I was chatting up with a local baker that creates gourmet creme puffs, with choice light creme fillings that change daily: strawberry, Irish bailey's, hazelnut chocolate, mango, lemon, etc.
Green tea flavour is popular in Metro Vancouver, from what he has discovered. I'm not surprised there is a huge % of residents of Asian descent who have a broad /exploratory palate (not all but obviously some, judging by the number of foodies and food bloggers from there).
But not in our city of over 1 million people in prairie Alberta. In fact, this bakery found out in their 2nd outlet out in the suburbs, the most popular flavour was Chantilly Creme or Chocolate. Very few people even tried Lemon or Strawberry Creme Pufffs. Which surprised me. (Are people in our prairie city THAT conservative in the 'burbs?? This is a city of 1 million people. Jeepers. )
