Buon Compleanno a voi !

...I never ate trifle or custard, but while I do not particularly like soups, I like creams and jellys very much (according to my english-italian dictionary...)

Oddly enough I loved the custard they served back when I was at Infant/Junior school.

I used to especially ask for the skin. It's the best bit.

Yum.

Aw, man, that's disgusting. School custard was 'orrible. Not quite as bad as semolina, but getting there.

Semolina is alright, but how did they make pink custard?

Our school did alright puddings, but their main courses left a lot to be desired. Braised heart anyone? complete with tubes? Something called "fish pie" that contained a mysterious white gloop?

I went to my old junior school a few months ago. I'm sure the building has shrunk. The head teacher certainly had, she used to tower over me, and now it's the opposite way around

Pink custard was on the days the dinner lady cut her finger cooking!

Semolina, tapioca, rice pudding=llovely.
Custard (especially school custard)=pants.

I'm sorry, but there it is.

Semolina + tapioca = awful

Ambrosia custard (or my Mum's) = excellent!

Junior school chocolate custard = excellent!

Gypsy tart was best though, still buy them now.

Oh, Happy Birthday BTW.

Thanks for the well-wishings, lads.

Oh, and custard can be gross or grand, depending on the recipe and cook.
