PrintShake Shack's December Custard Calendar
It's not online yet, but a visit to the "original" Shake Shack today proved this menu for the next 28 days. Unfortunately, today is Tuesday, and in my opinion, the least appealing of options: Candy Cane Crunch. Friday's Prune Armagnac sounds potentially awful or awesome.

Gingerbread would have been awesome, but I'll settle for another month of Pumpkin Spice.

Now, in the past, I've shyed away from custard flavors that sound unappealing, like "Shake Shiraz Poached Pear" or something to that effect before. But, here's my quesiton, to Shack Fanatics: Do they ever misfire with the custard flavors, or is even the wierd stuff great?

The weird stuff is usually pretty good, as long as you like the elements themselves. For example, the Cinnamon Roasted Fig was decidedly awesome, while the poached pear was pretty good, though a bit cloying, at least for me, after a few bites. The pear definitely comes through, which is what is making me prettttty excited for the cinnamon baked pear. I'm pretty excited for most of those, except admittedly chocolate yule Though I'm sure it's likely the same as the mulled chocolate, which was pretty much just chocolate with holiday spiciness, all I can picture in my head is a long chocolate log, which honestly just sounds the opposite of appealing. I apologize if I have now ruined the allure of the unknown that is chocolate yule for the rest of you.

I really really really want the eggnog and the cinnamon baked pear to be amazing, and i want to go down there in the freezing cold and get some, but i have to admit i have reservations. The sweet corn custard of the summer really let me down. I know SE raved about it (which is why i ran down there in the first place), but to me it just tasted like the regular custard... i got zero corn flavor out of it, and was stuck with what to me seems like a GIGANTIC "small" portion.

Agreed! Eggnog and pumpkin spice sound way better than Candy Cane Crunch. If you taste the prune-Armagnac flavor, please tell us how it is.

WTF IS A YULE in this context?

So sad about the lack of Gingerbread... That was my favorite flavor last December. I can't imagine that Prune Armac will make up for it's absence. Gingerbread...you will be missed!

I'm assuming it's like a chocolate yule log? Possibly chocolate cake w/custard? I might be the only one that actually wants to try the candy cane crunch....

Supposedly the UWS location has Gingerbread on Mondays... dunno why it's different but that's what the online menu says
