Does anyone still eat blamonge?!


Question: I hope I'll never eat it again!
I used to have it every other day for pudding at Saint Josephs Primary School and I hated it. The nuns used to tell me to eat it all because there were many starving children in Biafra, and I couldn't imagine that even they would ever want to eat it!

No, I just put jelly in one ear and blamonge in the other because I`m a Trifle deaf!

do you mean Blancmange? I didn't know you could still get it

It's called blancmange - "white eats" on the basis that it is principally cornflour with flavourings, so yes it's still eaten.

Often it forms a custard layer on a trifle!

I certainly don't, and I always thought it had a very high vomit-inducing quotient. Barf city.
Haven't heard much about it recently...
...except for the other day on the radio.
Was your question inspired by Scott Mills on radio 1?
He had some texts and callers that said they still eat the putrescent gunk...

Maybe you were raised with by a British mom in the 60's? It's still around, and I think that yes, some people even still eat it.
It's actually spelled blancmange. I think they still sell a mix for it at British food stores, but heres a link to the history, followed by a recipe.
