We've always called obscenely large sandwiches Snoopy Sandwiches in my family. I had a Snoopy VHS tape when I was a kid and it's either the Charlie Brown decathlon or Snoopy joining the circus episode (I don't remember) where Snoopy makes the biggest sandwich known to dog and mankind and swallows it like a snek.
The film showed a (very messy) version of a Windtorte, but they have to be served immediately after making. Since the pudding was being stored in the kitchen, waiting for the "big reveal" during the visit, it would not have held its shape and would have been ruined by the time Aunt Petunia actually got around to serving it. It's most likely that the actual pudding was a Charlotte, which is a large bowl lined with bits of sponge cake, filled with whipped cream to which has been added a bit of gelatine (to make it last longer), and decorated with bits of meringue, cherries, and candied violets. Charlottes can be made a couple hours in advance without having to worry about them.
Finally, someone who bakes the petunia cake correctly. I’ve seen too many people just make regular vanilla cakes and just decorate them like petunia’s.
@@bustedkeaton nope! The American version is the same. “Aunt Petunia’s masterpiece of a pudding, the mountain of cream and sugared violets, was floating up near the ceiling.” pg 19
Only slightly related sidebar comment: I have to say Fiona Shaw was brilliant as Aunt Petunia, and continues to be brilliant right now in Andor. She's just thoroughly excellent at her craft.
On a even more tenuous side note, Richard Griffiths is generally remembered as Uncle Vernon, but of all the roles he played in his long career, in my mind, and many others, he will always be Uncle Monty. By far his greatest role IMO.
"I knew it was going to be rigid!" Imagine everyone's face in the Dursley household if Vernon's boss's wife had said that. Especially Dobby's. Could you please do your own take on the Fiesta Burrito with Chili and Eggs that Dan Aykroyd makes for Robert Stack in the food truck scene from Caddyshack 2?
My classic old-fashioned fussy British lady flavour would be violets, which I think is a little more Aunt Petunia, but otherwise I think this is on point!
I agree. Also, violets just so happen to go along with JKR's common usage of floral names in the series: Lily (Potter), Petunia (Dursley), Poppy (Pomfrey), Rose (Weasley), Pansy (Parkinson), Lavender (Brown), Narcissa (Malfoy, narcissius is the Latin name for daffodils), Fleur (Delacour), Myrtle (Warren, Moaning Myrtle), (Daphne) Greengrass, Olive (Hornby), Padma (Patil, Padma is "lotus").
This is definitely an interesting way to make a windtorte, I usually think of it as a whipped cream pinata but this definitely had a lot more meringue in the layers keeping it solid.
That was the most soothing and relaxing thing I've watched and heard in a long time, it was absolutely wonderful! 😊 Thank you so much, I loved every bit of this. 🎂 The only thing I would add is that I don't think Aunt Petunia's cake was this type of cake but I absolutely love that we can speculate about these things, it's a lovely intersection of material and fictional world, how beautiful. 😊💗
I love that you don't take yourself too seriously and let her drop the pudding on you. It's also really nice to see how things are constructed, even if they prove to be somewhat inedible in the end. More like this please!

I feel like the cake actually was layers of sponge cake and filling, the way it broke apart. That or you needed to let your 'cake' rest for 12 hours so that it would get nice and moist.
@@bellaknightR597 Yes, but to make the "Pudding" still might need what we call cake included in it. Also in the UK what we call Cookies they call Biscuits.

Not very committed in this particular video, or he should have noticed that he made a different version than the one shown in the movie and described in the book.
When you remember that Petunia had Harry do the vast majority of the cooking and that he therefore probably made that? Seeing it be ruined by a deranged (but well-intentioned) house-elf must have been extra heartbreaking for Harry~
there’s a huge difference between having harry fry bacon for sunday breakfast vs making a meringue pudding for your husband’s boss coming over for dinner.
@@silentnight6810 I think the candy Sally brings home could be a great excuse to make candy, and Babish making what nectar and ambrosia would taste like for him would be fun to watch

I think it was more likely a pavlova as it seemed to have that sticky centre like you see in the middle of a deep pavlova. Either that or she didn't dry her meringue out as much as you did
Something that doesn't taste all that great and is mostly just meant to look impressive is exactly what I would expect from Aunt Petunia's cooking.
Metaphor for how the Dursley always want to seem like a perfect,ordinary family to strangers.
@@googlename7943 That's how you climb the ladder, unfortunately.
A great Halloween episode idea would be one of those comically large sandwiches from Scooby doo
The double triple decker sardine and marshmallow fudge sandwich. I've been hoping babish does that for a couple years now

Ooh the po boy from zombie island would be ❤
As an obsessive Scooby fan, I want to let you know that it's often called a Super Shaggy Sandwich

That was totally priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

@@zoller3822 welcome to TH-cam
You can tell the exact moment when he sees Kendall, because he just loses it. xD
Now I’ve always assumed it was violet flavoured but crème de cassis totally makes sense! Looks amazing! I thought so when I saw it in the film too!
In the books it's described as 'a mound of whipped cream and sugared violets'
Sugared…. violence? I’m interested.
@@Poltard seeing this comment and the (edited) note in the one above is like seeing a crime scene

Fiona Shaw in Killing eve is just amazing
Absolutely! There were so many excellent legendary actors in the HP films!
Who does she play in Andor?
Diego Lunas adopted mom
Babish refusing to rotate the rotating cake stand, instead making things harder for himself gives me life
Kendall: "It sounded like a pile of books."
Babish, why is your entire team so precious?
Ikr?
She is seriously the sweetest! 😂
Its a script
Master has given Dobby a new Babish video...Dobby.... is... First!
Nice
I uhh... Tip my hat for that one. Nice
Amazing
Dobby has no master. Dobby is a free elf and Dobby has come to watch Babbish with his friends.
Oh well done!
Credit where it's due: Petunia clearly had skills
"I knew it was going to be rigid!"
Imagine everyone's face in the Dursley household if Vernon's boss's wife had said that. Especially Dobby's.
Could you please do your own take on the Fiesta Burrito with Chili and Eggs that Dan Aykroyd makes for Robert Stack in the food truck scene from Caddyshack 2?
I love the lengths you will go to recreate a recipe… even letting it get dropped on you
He didn't even research the pudding and because of that gave it a totally different flavor and used different fillings.
In the book it's described as being covered in sugared violets, so maybe the purple color should have been violet instead of blackcurrant
That’s not in the book. Read the cookbook released in 2009, his recipe is spot on.
@@vp5633 it is written as sugared violets in the original novel, but they may have changed the recipe for the cookbook
@@redridinghoodie34 no, you’re wrong
@@vp5633 Novel accuracy over cookbook.
I will now boo in your general direction - boo.
@@vp5633 it is literally in the novel. What the quack are you talking about
My classic old-fashioned fussy British lady flavour would be violets, which I think is a little more Aunt Petunia, but otherwise I think this is on point!
It was described as being violet-flavoured in the book, with crystalised violets as decoration.

ironically violets are "the lesbian flower".
This is definitely an interesting way to make a windtorte, I usually think of it as a whipped cream pinata but this definitely had a lot more meringue in the layers keeping it solid.
What do you mean by "whipped cream pinata?"
@@harringt100 I guess they mean mostly whipped cream filling with a meringue shell, like a piñata has candy filling and a papier-mâché shell?
Custard and puddle making cuddle is the most wholesome thing I’ve heard today 🥹
There was a great unintentional pun in there when you mentioned the “masonry”….because the couple the Dursleys are entertaining are the Masons!
I always love the irony when he STICKS parchment paper down using NON-STICK spray

Please make the Other Mother's Dinner Banquet from Coraline movie as an early Thanksgiving video

"You're not making custard unless your shins are sweating!"
Great quote from Kendall
Bosses’s wife: It’s not even that tasty
Babish: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!
The way it just bounces off Andrew’s baldness and he’s like “…UH!” 😂😂😂😂
The ole old Kendall slide and drop cake technique for the win!
This was exactly what I needed after a rough day. A big thanks to Andy and team!
Andrew's bald head acted as a shield and bounced it away.
"Crème de Cassis, a _digestif_ made from black currants"
You sir, now have my attention.
This looks like such a fun one to create! That sounded way more solid than I expected when it hit your head. haha
So that’s where bishop Brennan has been going when not on craggy island 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I liked it when he called Harry “very disturbed”
I mean it's the same context in the original novel
Literally just watch this movie the other day R.i.P Hagrid.
The book describes the dessert as a "mountain of whipped cream and sugared violets", but this looks great
It's obviously from the movie. Did you not see the clip at the beginning
Andre: "I'm so sorry. It's my fiancé, she's very a nerd!" lol
I feel like the cake actually was layers of sponge cake and filling, the way it broke apart. That or you needed to let your 'cake' rest for 12 hours so that it would get nice and moist.
Ya, that makes sense with the meringue and custard being balanced with sponge cake and in the actual book talks about sugared violets on top.
Read the title, its not cake
@@bellaknightR597 But in the UK their "Pudding" is Cake-like.
@@morrigankasa570 ok yeah but it's still called pudding, the title calls it pudding

Now that is commitment to the bit. Mr. Babish, sir. you are a legend.

Not very committed in this particular video, or he should have noticed that he made a different version than the one shown in the movie and described in the book.
@@justmejustme7898 why don't you make one. OH WAIT no one would care. Be better
rest in peace Robbie Coltrane❤️ thanks for making this video, i’ve always wanted to make it😂😍
Pretty sure this thing had actual sugared violets on it
I’m currently reading the book!!
Now I want to watch all the Harry potters again
It's missing the candied violets!
Parma Violet is the purple flavouring I'm sure :)
It's my kitchen producer she's very disturbed!
When you remember that Petunia had Harry do the vast majority of the cooking and that he therefore probably made that? Seeing it be ruined by a deranged (but well-intentioned) house-elf must have been extra heartbreaking for Harry~

I'd love a Babish version of the "Winchester Surprise" from Supernatural
Is it just me or does anyone else think that babish seems like such a great guy to work for
Kendal looked so nervous dropping that on your head
As a kid i always thought that cake looks amazing, I'm happy it's finally got the respect it deserves
It's not cake, it's pudding, read the title
Which is DESSERT either way. 🎂 yum
I just watched this movie yesterday and this video comes up on the home page--the algorithm is algorithming
The books describe the pudding as "a mound of whipped cream and sugared violets". You are definitely missing sugared violets.
you missed an ingredient
in the book it also mentioned that the pudding included sugared violets
i feel like the pudding dropping wouldve been more surprising and funny if we didnt see it ahead of time
You're almost there to 10 million subscribers bro!
I would definitely love a botched with babish episode about "the cake incident"
I suggest : Bart's passion fruit soufflé with crème anglaise, from The Simpsons 21x08.
Speaking of aunt recipes, you should do Aunt Myrna's party cheese salad
Noooooo

Great Halloween idea would be
Sandy's candy apple's from Hocus Pocus 2
Day 30 of petitioning Babish to make the Triple Fried Egg Sandwich with Chilli Sauce and Chutney from Red Dwarf
I made a few of those, over the years. They're delicious! Best if you toast the bread first, otherwise it gets soggy and messy REALLY quickly.
not sure if I should be watching this when I'm both broke and hungry but I'm watching it anyway
Oh this is a perfect one for Babish to do. Great episode!
I watched to-month's episode while eating whisked cooked eggs, sausages and bread.
Never get tired of your content, keep it up
It's cute when Andrew pretends that he's Kendall's boss.
I think it was more likely a pavlova as it seemed to have that sticky centre like you see in the middle of a deep pavlova. Either that or she didn't dry her meringue out as much as you did
In the UK, meringues usually have a sticky/soft center.
Love the commitment to the dessert to the extent of getting it dropped on your head 😎😁
I would love to see you make that fancy dinner from Mr. Peabody and Sherman!
I’ve waited 20 years for this video
rest in peace hagrid bro i loved his actor
Yep, that's... that's definitely a "drop-on-someone's-head" kind of cake.
Chamber Of Secrets is my favorite Harry Potter movie. I rewatch it every Halloween.
I am more of a Prisoner of Azkaban fan.
