The flames grow higher

Ukraine likes its upscale references. One of which is ‘our chef has trained in Paris/Rome/Poltava’. Fidele had a special strawberry creme brulee in the recent strawberry season. When it arrived it resembled, ok it was, an angel delight moussey thing. I enquired where was the brulee? The waitress said, that’s a creme brulee, our chef trained in Paris. Fortunately , it was a short strawberry season.
