Cherry Strudel

A typical cherry strudel from an Italian bakery in Brooklyn.

We cause a lot of confusion while ordering asking for turnovers and getting strudels and asking for strudels and getting turnovers.

Its hard to have complaints about cherry filled pastry. It wasn’t life altering or life affirming, but good in that “this is exactly what I expected and everything I wanted” kind of way.

Lemon Turnover

I find it hard to resist lemon filling.

The trouble is always finding pastries with real lemon custard rather than the artificial, chemical flavor lemon. The ideal is a combination of sweet and tart, which this pastry filled. It was heavy too, like a brick in your hand. I probably would have been satisfied with half.
