If I could be arsed, I’d take offence at that

I was going to go with apple pie or vanilla ice cream

As a kid I would definitely have said jelly, or (when I lived at my gran’s) tinned peach slices with Carnation milk

Custard

Shit, massive omission there. It’s even vanilla flavoured

Not really a dessert though - it’s something you’d pour on a dessert

True, but it comes in a self-contained form as well

Not in my world. It’s a perfectly acceptable stand alone pudding, and whilst I do like it on stuff I prefer it alone.

Wouldn’t get it on a dessert menu :woman_shrugging:

Only because then nobody would buy any of the other desserts.

Nah, the default custard isn’t. Only posh (shit) custard has vanilla added to it.

Fair point, and the original context was about ordering in restaurants

Although thinking about it - isn’t vanilla ice cream just frozen custard? And creme brulee hot custard with sugar on top?

Doesn’t it all have vanilla flavour though? Agree about the little bits of seeds pointlessly floating about

Nope. Not ambrosia which is all I’m talking about when I reference custard.

Shit I’ve been living under an illusion my entire adult life. Over to the things you were late to realise thread…
