in order to pick up some rosewater lassi. Which they didn't have, but they did have Quatro Leches. Verdict? I still prefer Tres Leches.

I'm a little intrigued, though, by the thought of more leches. It's sort of like figure skating. Sonja Henie was doing single spins and jumps. When we did skating, when I was little, already all the serious competition had to do triples, and it was like that for a very long time. Now people are doing quadruples. But where does it end? In another 50 years, will we be eating ocho leches cake and watching people do octuple lutzes? Will anti-gravity be invented solely so people can indulge on ever more leches and, after their repast, go on to do ever more spins before landing?
