I believe that “to scoff” is derived from Escoffier,
A man who transformed the cuisines of today.
Every pudding designed by that man, Georges Auguste,
Is a sonnet by Shakespeare, a novel by Proust!
The famous Peach Melba, Fraises a la Sarah Bernhardt,
Those two scrumptious puds will do for a start!
A great all-round chef, but for puddings my hero,
Especially that flaming ice-cream, the Bombe Nero!
Scoff!

What would we do without Escoffier? One of my new year’s resolution is to limit my sugar intake…easier said than done…
What indeed!
What a work of art! Wonderful and I’m sure very tasty!
Sounds like a genius to me! Could that be meringue surrounding that flaming ice cream??? We call that Baked Alaska.
No not meringue! That us called a baked Alaska here too. This is flaming ice cream!
