Despite heavy criticism that the so-called “Nanaimo bar” depicted in their latest stamp issue has a troubling and inaccurate filling-to-base ratio, Canada Post is standing by their controversial version of the famed West Coast treat.
That sound you heard was veteran dessert-makers and pastry chefs fainting all over this great, dessert-loving nation. While there may be several ways to make a Nanaimo bar one’s own, virtually every authority on the matter seems to agree that a more equal ratio of custard filling to crumbly base is still required.
“They should have more bottom,” Hardcastle said of the stamp, which was created by Vancouver-based Subplot Design, although the image itself is the product of Mary Ellen Johnson, a photorealistic food painter based in South Carolina. But the postal service will not be shamed. Never mind that Hardcastle’s recipe is considered the gold standard, or that social media has savaged the stamp since its unveiling — apart from ensuring all three layers are present, Canada Post appears to feel that the rest is sweet anarchy.
