comes in a large cylindrical transparent container... the freshly made variety, presumably has to be refrigerated

how come it tastes NOTHING like custard ?

What is it with M&S. Why do they think they can improve on stuff. Why do they have to M&S everything.

You cannot 'gentrify' custard. We all know and love the custard that we had at school. A sachet of birds mixed in with boiling water is about as good as it gets. You can't make custard 'posh' .. it is what it is.

Why do M&S insit on doing this with food ? Is it to sit with their brand ? Or is it that I am living in a nation full of ignormases who request this sort of aspiring yuppy crud ?

Bring back birds... mad

or the reaaly lump thick boarding school stuff that tasted EXACTLY like custard

Sure it wasn't creme anglaise.
no custard, but didn't taste of anything... just fancy packaging and it kind of looks good probably with all the right colourings and consistency chemicals



IIRC they used to do a carton of creme anglaise which always tasted rather nice but this stuff is pointless

and whatever birds is, at least it has a custard-esque flavour
