Yep, that's what I meant by custard.
So glad your cake come out fine. A whole holiday's success was based on that cake.
Cake!

Re: Cake!
To elicit your pity, Ben, here is an example, commercial and very typical, of what we Statesiders associate with the word "fruitcake":
Garish, isn't it. And probably not all that tasty. And while we're on the topic of questionable holiday, um, "treats", allow me as a Minnesotan to give you all a glimpse into the dark world of lutefisk (I wouldn't have bothered with this bit of OT but this new-found pic is just too real to resist):
I know. I don't get it, either.

Re: Cake!
What is going on with that fork? Did someone hurl on the tines and then come back for more?

Re: Cake!
That "cake" looks dreadful. That's never actually sold under the description "fruit cake" is it? You'd be had up under the Trades Descriptions Act here for that.

Re: Cake!
You could say that. Minnesotans are unique, and like flies, we partially pre-digest our food outside our stomachs. That's what you're seeing there: the digestion process.mutepointe wrote:What is going on with that fork? Did someone hurl on the tines and then come back for more?
No, but seriously, it's a cream-based white sauce, which is traditional. I don't see how it could improve anything. And no one dares call it Béchamel: they'd be laughed out of the Veterans' Hall.

There's a certain amount of greater comparative laxity here in the States about regulating some things. For lack of a better term, we call it "freedom". And obviously it comes at a price.benhall.1 wrote:You'd be had up under the Trades Descriptions Act here for that.

Re: Cake!
When the price is bad cake for good cake, it's too expensive.

Re: Cake!
I don't like the sound of freedom. I'm glad we haven't got anything like that here in the UK. Ugh!

But the aforementioned is very ubiquitous, I'm afraid.
