Made correctly the texture is very pleasing, akin to the texture of a thicker pudding, and the flavor is a combination of earthy and sweet, especially with a well made pastry crust to compliment it. Typically eaten topped with whipped cream although vanilla ice cream isn't uncommon.

I rather like it as it's a departure from the typical American holiday fare of excessive sugar or the bitter earwax taste of modern American chocolate. It's a simpler dish originating from a different time.
