Custard love
I love English custard sauce. It is one of the things I look forward to when I visit England. Even really bad custard sauce is still delicious in my book.

It is delicious, lightly sweet + vanilla-y, runny sauce that the English put on lots of things (like English trifle)

I looked up a recipe online (it's a joy of baking recipe) and learned that if you add different thickening agents, you have standard pastry custard or bavarian creme. I mentioned this to J. He said, "And they went to war with each other? You'd think all custard eating countries would get along."
A world united by custard. I can live with that kind of peace and love.

Mmmm. I love custard sauce too. It elevates ordinary desserts.
