Random Raves XXXV: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems

[Borachio]

Nah. It's a kind of custard.

Eggs, sugar, milk.

That's custard.

You can keep it. I'll very occasionally eat a little ice cream. Which is simply frozen (though granulatedly (!) frozen) custard.

 

[Farm Boy]

So it's kinda like cold pudding? Waiiiiit, you're British. Not that kind of pudding. JELLO like pudding. English is fun. So are the English I'm sure.

 

[Borachio]

It's a Dutch thing. No British person would eat cold custard. Unless it was so cold it was ice cream.

Cold custard honestly can't be nice. But then I don't like hot custard.

And custard, btw, isn't a pudding in its own right. Custard is like gravy. But you have it with your dessert (or as you like it call it for some reason your pudding) rather than the first course.

So. Apple pie... and custard. Jam roly poly... and custard. Spotted dick... and custard. See?

 

[Farm Boy]

So pudding is like custard but thicker and not as rich, and it's cold instead of hot. But only so long as we're talking about the type of pudding you don't make out of blood. Possibly some hooves in there but definitely not blood.

 

[Borachio]

Hahahaha. Americans confronted with British culinary practices. Delightful!

Don't get me started on sherry trifle!

Come to think of it, that features cold custard too. Hmm. I hadn't thought of that.

 

[JohannaK]

I don't think I've had custard that was not cold.

Apparently there may be a difference between custard and natillas, however.

 

[Borachio]

Well, living in a part of the world (commonly known as heaven) where it never rains and is never cold, I don't suppose you ever felt the need to have hot custard.

 

[Arakhor]

I do like a thing called Vla.

I'd eat that, but then I have a terrible sweet tooth. (It has also declined of late as I've got older.)

 

[JohannaK]

(commonly known as heaven)

I'm not dead et, as far as memory goes. Unless I am dead and it was indeed so long ago that I forgot.

Still, I don't think that truly is the case, do you?

 

[Borachio]

I really don't know. I've only been to Barcelona the once and it was a long time ago so I don't remember anything about it.

But it's on the Mediterranean; just how unpleasant could it be? The worst weather you're likely to encounter is a bit of a wind from time to time.

 

[JohannaK]

You know what is funny? It rains more in Barcelona than in, say, Stockholme. Just in less days. That is, rain is heavier and occurs more sparsely. The humid warmth of the summer by the sea is something many people openly hate about the city.

 

[Borachio]

OK.

Still doesn't explain why you'd want to eat cold custard, imo.

 

[Civ'ed]

OK.

Still doesn't explain why you'd want to eat cold custard, imo.

because it tastes good

 

[Takhisis]

But it's on the Mediterranean; just how unpleasant could it be?

There is a school of thought which holds that Poloniya is on the northern shores of Africa, right on the Mediterranean…

 

[Lohrenswald]

666 postcount is pretty cool

Though I think I actually have made close to 200 more.

 

[madviking]

you know what's cooler? 10k

 

[azzaman333]

I think I've resolved to treat a situation that's been plaguing my mind as being nothing more than misread signals, so I'm going to assume nothing exists. Not sure if I'll let it run free in my imagination nor how successful my resolve will be, but I at least have a plan of attack to stop it engulfing my thoughts more than is reasonable.

 

[sophie]

you know what's cooler? 10k

bah, 10k is overrated.

 

[choxorn]

10k? Please.
