I’ve only had banana pudding a few times in my life, and I don’t know who made it or whose recipe it was, but I love it. My husband won’t touch it, so I never make it at home, and don’t come across it often. Can’t wait to try the milkshake!

My grandmother made her banana pudding with homemade vanilla custard as the base. My mom always told me that the best her mother ever made was when she forgot the bananas and it was just vanilla wafers and custard. Delicious!!

I first heard of Agnes and Muriel’s banana pudding from a friend who’d officiated a wedding, and mentioned that the couple had had the restaurant specially prepare a pan of banana pudding for the guests. He said it was amazing.

I went to the restaurant to try it myself, and he was right: it was astonishingly good. I’m sorry that the place has closed.

My Dad makes the best quiches and banana pudding. Ever. (i would also probably gnaw my arm down to the bone if it was slathered in his barbecue sauce.) He lets the pudding sit long enough before serving to allow the cookies to soften a bit. The texture of the cookies is as important to the pudding as the bottom crust is to a chicken pot pie. I’d love to give my Dad a couple of coupons. It would make his day! I’ve had the shake (more than once) and it is evil good.

Sorry, I don’t. This post is from last year.
