Anyway' date=' as you'd probably guess, too much cooked fruit in a tatin for me.

 

Mine's an apple gallette, please.[/quote']

 

So, its not just a dried fruit and a mixing sweet and savoury thing? We'd never get along. I love fruit

Apple danish.

Cherry danish.

Strawberry danish.

Blueberry danish.

Strawberry jam.

Apricot jam.

Raspberry jam.

Strawberries and cream.

Blueberries and cream.

Watermelon.

Rockmelon and ice cream.

Nectarines.

No problem. Love them all.

 

It's more a contradictory dislike, than a consistent one.

I've already said.

Apologies, I was on Forum Runner. The bolding doesnt show up

 

Birds or freshly made (or does it depend on the situation?)

 

Edit. Being a bit of a clever clogs today, eh, after the wishbone incident?

I'm always a sarky twat' date=' you know that.

 

Home made custard.

 

I find powder or ready made custard too sweet.

 

EDIT: And it needs to be boiling hit, no skin or lumps.[/quote']

 

I was on your side when you mentioned crumble but custard must have skin and be lovely and thick otherwise you might as well have hot milk instead.

Which reminds me.....Jay Rayner was making the claim that Britons are losing the taste for bitter over sweet the other night...which got me thinking about where the line is drawn between sour and bitter. I don't have an answer yet.....I like both....and their contrast with sweet

Eating out I like cheffy pale, vanilla speckled custard/creme anglaise but on a cold winters night at home thick with a skin is great....pouring custard must always be Hot

Mind you, he is more interested in making food criticism sound like an Oscar Wilde play than actually being critically informative or useful.

I'd agree with that.

 

I used to get told off as a kid for pulling rhubarb out of the garden and eating it straight away. No washing it, no sugar or anything.

I went out for lunch on Friday to a place he'd recommended. The place looked lovely but when you can do better yourself I'm out.

Very nice bottle of Malbec though

Made from my handpicked forced rhubarb. Custard or ice cream?

 

 

Or my 70s throwback guilty pleasure, evaporated milk

 

Evaporated milk on a crumble...that is a new one on me

What a strange idea; i'm going to have to try it very soon

As a a rule only do condensed/evaporated milk on porridge or in a Banoffi pie

I definitely didn't mean condensed. That would not be good. In my opinion
