[Food] When was the last time you had blancmange?

[BN9 BHA]

It’s very 80’s a bit like spam & prawn cocktail thankfully food menus have moved on !

Good 80s band though

I know times are tough, but do we really have to resort to eating Blancmange?
And don't get me started on evaporated milk.

My ex-wife used to have evaporated milk in her coffee!

 

[PWA]

Never.
I don't trust the way it looks or moves.

I only opened the thread to see if this had been posted, I’m surprised it took until post #20 though

Don't tell me.

I'd have divorced her too!

I had a very elderly great aunt who was born in 1910. When I was a kid she'd make us it ans aerve it with condensed milk. We used to love it but I think the last time I had it was the mid nineties.

Might make some for my daughter tonight!

Last time I saw them was in Birmingham supporting the Human League. As for eating it about 50 years ago.

Hated the stuff as a child and I still do.

Used to just call it rabbit.

I get that the pink is the rabbit and the green the grass, but what is that white stuff coming out the back of the rabbit

There's a lot to be said for consistency.

Evaporated Milk. Isn't that a whole other poll?

Maybe we need to discuss brown sugar sandwiches or even condensed milk sandwiches as well ?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

As an aside, did anyone like/eat the skin?

For me it was but fortunately my dad liked it!

I liked it.

Jelly made with mild wasn't it?

Primary school was the last time I saw it, but always opted for cornflake tart & custard or rice pudding with a dollop of jam in the middle. I actually had an Oliver Twist moment with the cornflake tart once.

Our parents have so much to answer for.

Custard = disgusting. Rice pudding = disgusting. Rice is supposed to be steamed or fried. Dollops and tarts = depends Dollops of what? Jam OK. Tarts = depends on the tart. Oh, and blancmange = disgusting.

Angel Delight v Instant Whip is the question.

Instant Whip- every time.

Butterscotch Angel Delight all the way!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Probably not since junior school. So nearly 50 years ago!

Angel Delight on the other hand, still have it occasionally as a guilty treat/pleasure.

Crushed ginger nuts base, butterscotch Angel Delight and tinned peaches

Butterscotch Angel delight ..my fav

Disgusting, last time I had it was at school and it always had a thick pink rubbery skin

semolina pudding at school used to make me hurl….Mrs Jones the English teacher had thick pink rubbery skin…but that’s another subject

 

[peterward]

I had Blancmange at school dinners pre 1967.
I haven't missed it a bit.

Don't remember that stuff since primary school dinners.

What the hell is it made from?

Is it some hybrid between milk, gelatin, colouring and favouring?
