Price I paid
I was served this "poppy seed crumble cake" while on a cruise on the Queen Mary 2 and the journey price included all food.
Colour
If I had not known any better I probably would have thought that this was a chocolate cake.
Taste
In my opinion, this was not a cake and I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a thick dry crumbly mess with a layer of very dry, solid poppy seeds. It could really have done with a layer of jam or a more spongy base. It reminded me of the crust of a seeded bread without the nice spongy bit underneath.
Overall Reaction
I like the idea of putting poppy seeds in a cake, but this one just wasn't for me!
