I always liked the way you stir away and it would suddenly thicken, and darken in colour. Magnificent. Hell, what with dream topping and Angel Delight......we were virtually foraging an existence back in the day......

RichHL Jan 2023 3:03pm, 25 Jan 2023 20,566 posts	0 RichHL I make custard. Proper custard with eggs and sugar and cream and farting around with vanilla pods. It's a sod when it splits and you have to go at it with a whisk like M'Choakumchild in an unruly nursery.

RichHL Jan 2023 3:36pm, 25 Jan 2023 20,571 posts	0 RichHL Thing is l like Bird's custard too, and that Ambrosia stuff. Everything has it's place. I wouldn't pour home-made custard over microwaved midweek puddings, for example.
Ocelot Spleens Jan 2023 5:07pm, 25 Jan 2023 36,187 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Correct. I made proper custard over Christmas, Ambrosia the other day as we had a load of fruit in the freezer.
