Fear the blancmange

[louiselux]

Sadly, puddingcat missed the great gloopy unveiling of the blancmange yesterday, so here is a pictorial history of the event:




The blancmange lightly quivering and fresh out if its mould. Any resemblance to deep sea face-hugging slime monsters is unintentional.




Partly devoured blancmange of doom... The red bits are not as scary as they look; they are raspberry. Honestly.





Cultural note: in the UK, blancmange is a sort of milky jelly often flavoured with fruit or chocolate, sold as a cheap and easy (if old fashioned), dessert. It's meant to be poured into moulds and left to set in the fridge, although it can be eaten hot like custard. The above is strawberry.

It looks like a brain!

I was thinking that, too. *dies*

Did it play tennis?

(Looks awesome.)

Oh, so that's what they look like! It's one of those things I've encountered in literature, but never in real life!

Hn, now I'm wondering if that's also what was meant in a childhood tale I recall of a young dairymaid who switched places with a princess, and was expecting ice cream for supper every night, only to encounter endless plates of "milk pudding" instead.

I actually tend to like custardy/milky desserts. Hmmm. That has possibilities.

For next time, I think this cries out for a brain-shaped mold!

Fascinating. That looks both really yummy and deeply disturbing. Do you think the next one you make could be green? I'd really like to see...

The best thing about blancmange is the sound of it's name. I've always loved that word. It's possible I just outgeeked every sentient being in existence...

Wow, I am afeared!

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

That's even more disturbing than I'd imagined!
