G'day blokes, anyone who's followed my career reviewing ice creams would be well aware of the fact that when it comes to lemon meringue, I'd walk over my grandmothers grave just to nab a cheeky slice.
That's why when I saw a bright yellow box emblazoned with "BULLA MURRAY STREET
LEMON MERINGUE TART" on the shelf at the local Woolies I zeroed in on it like a homeless crackhead chasing some dropped coins outside the fortitude valley Macca's at 1am on a Saturday morning.
There's an old adage that you should never meet your heroes, and ♥♥♥♥ me, in this situation there's never been truer words spoken.
This cream could have been something special, the worst part is that bulla do know their way around a cream, yet somehow they dropped the ball so badly on this one that they'll have to work double time if they're ever going to earn my trust again.
There was no meringue flavour involved here, what they've cooked up is nothing more than some vanilla cream with the thinnest imaginable swirl of lemon sauce through the centre, with the whole thing encapsulated by some white chocolate that's had a run in with some yellow food dye, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tragedy to say the least.
5/10.
BULLA, sort your ♥♥♥♥ out.
