I think in America what you call a biscuit I call a cookie .
Pants are trousers?
I know a flashlight is a torch there.

Well done! And just to be clear, I am bilingual (which is often the same as confused), but I am really not sure about custard.
I think British custard doesn’t really exist in the US and maybe is closest to pudding (which has a whole different meaning in the UK!).
I will have to bow out if this one as I don’treally like any of these things and prefer my raspberries plain off the bush.

Not again!I had to look it up since you mentioned in & my poor little mind is still reeling.

I really hesitated about saying anything after our last go around. But I couldn’t resist.

I wonder about you Americans sometimes; I really do. Why would you freeze this stuff? It should be hot & pourable unless being used in something like a beesting cake, in which case it needs to be considerably firmer & a true custard made with eggs. I love custard though I don't often have the patience to make the real thing.

And now we wait to see if custard is custard on both sides of the puddle.

Do you get a lot of interest?

I do. I've not had any problem giving roosters away for the last 4 years. I don't know if it will last, but so far so good. I've also sold trios and an entire flock of 10, including a 3 yo broody with a half dozen eggs and a rooster.
Some people don't reply when I began asking questions, but someone else always comes along.

Gosh I never heard of frozen custard. I never heard of it being hot and pourable either. My grandmother made it in little dishes in the oven in a Bain Marie. It was jiggly and smooth and delicious.

Baked custard is baked custard & what you might get in a ramkin or as pie filling. Custard in Oz usually refers to the pourable stuff, as I think it also does in Britain.

Thank you. I have a very weird & wonderful tribe that I love to bits. Most of them are as mad as hatters.
