Creme Brulée. English through and through, named in French just to get a better rep it seems. In France its Creme Anglais, which is better than "Burnt Cream" I suppose.

Ever been to Strada (Italian of course) or Pret a Manger. Saying you are going to Strada or Pret sounds so much bettter than going to "Road" or "Ready". Admittedly there is a sandwich shop called EAT.

Creme Anglais and Creme Brulee are as far I know not the same thing(local varitations my differ).
Again, AFAIK, creme brulee is made with creme Anglais, that doesn't make it the same thing though.

* Deserts never were my strong point.

Indeed they aren't: creme anglais is a vanilla egg custard. Creme brulee ain't.
