Crimes against Gastronomy

[Mr. Dazzle]

Why the fuck did they write English cream in French??

Crème anglaise is what you or I would call "Custard".

To the rest of the world "Custard" is a generic term for loads of different things, any kind of liquid made of eggs and milk basically. Crème anglaise is the specific kind of custard that Brits think of, but that's just us - hence the name "English Cream". Don't ever ask for "custard" with your strudel in Vienna, it's vanilla sauce (aka custard).

Chefs like to call it crème anglaise even in the UK 'cause it sounds more foody. Also distinguishes between 'proper' custard made from eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla and the stuff in a packet.

I thought about putting this in the utterly random picture thread, but decided that it really needed its own thread due to its utter awfulness.

Should you wish to partake of this very dubious culinary delight then you'll need to get to the Central Hotel on the Diamond in Donegal Town.

Pretentious twaddle. A bit like pan fried. Oh, I thought you'd fry it in the toilet
