Fish Custard... Yay or nay?

[aquabluejay]

OK, w had the party last weekend, and I've got to say that it's probably not something I'll ever eat again.
It wasn't that horrible, but it wasn't particularly tasty.

I spent 45 minutes in Kroger's trying to figure out what best approximated "custard", having failed to look it up online before going to the store. I kept going back and forth between the yogurt isle and the pudding isle, changing my mind back and forth.
I had decided to get yogurt, and then I remembered that they mention yogurt in the scene, so I went to grab pudding. I wasn't happy with the selection of pudding however, so I delayed, and then I remembered one of the rare, bizarrely useful scraps of information I have managed to glean from two years of french class: Yogurt in Europe is not the same as yogurt in America.

So basically I went for vanilla yogurt.... The results were... Interesting...

Also, I'm never having tea again, ever. I officially loath the stuff. I tried it again at the party... Bleh! We did have legit tea biscuits though. ^^

We also had apples complete with smiling faces carved by yours truly, (with an alarmingly and overall wonderingly large knife, I might add.) As well as bred and butter. Unfortunately, we didn't get any bacon or beans, but It was OK.
We had loads of fun, and got Jeremy through season one of new who compressed into a single sitting, alas, by watching only the plot relevant highlight episodes.

And that's where I was instead of joining in on dwlive this last Saturday, sad to have missed it. Sunday though, I did get through "Mawdryn Undead" however. Lol, Turlough! XD I was terribly excited to see the Brigadier, I've missed him terribly. ^^

THAT SOUND AWESOME!! ;D

Smiley apples!!! I've got to do that some time. You'd probably have to eat them pretty fast to stop them going brown though... (I actually wondered about that in the Eleventh Hour; how many apples the production team went through. And whether or not Eleven keeps lemon juice in his pocket)

Yogurt is different in Europe? Really? *is interested*

Custard is actually found in the baking section (I know right?). It comes in a can and you have to cook it and sometimes add other stuff.

The yogurt in The Netherlands taste different ... more like organic yogurt you can get here.... pretty much it is less processed. Still, yogurt in The Netherlands (anyway) is no where near custard.

Yogurt in most of Europe, or at the very least in France, is apparently much more "liquidy". I'm missing the right word here, which is unusual for me... Maybe runny... No still not it...
Anyway, I can't believe I'm about to go into this but...
If you look at the yogurt in the eleventh hour, (yeah, right as he spits it out D; ) it does look to be of a thinner consistency. (Ah ha! there's the phrase I was looking for! )
That was kind of insanely dorky even for me to cite something like that, but I literally just looked at that scene about 60 seconds ago by chance so... XD

What follows is a hilarious sequence in which Amelia prepares various dishes that the Doctor digs into with gusto ... and then summarily chucks, spits out or deems "evil." He finally settles on an unusual combination: Fried fish sticks dipped in a pudding/custard sauce. Oddly enough, there were no trick props or substitutions behind the scenes. Odder still, Smith didn't mind.

"It was actually fish fingers and custard [that I ate] and it was gorgeous," enthused Smith. "I ate 12 fish fingers while filming that scene."

He ate TWELVE of them?!?! Okay, so, I'm on the brink of possibly acquiescing that fish fingers and custard might not be that bad and trying it but... but... TWELVE?!?! That makes me feel vaguely ill to think about. I hope it wasn't all in a row.

*is queasy*


...riiight, according to the TARDIS wiki Matt is just as much a fibber as his character because they weren't fish sticks; they were some kind of cake made of to look like fish sticks.

I'm honestly not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

[jjpor]

Relieved. Or maybe disappointed...? No, I don't know either... ;D

I have no idea what you people are talking about.

But what is negative over the fact that I have strang craving for fish sticks and custard.

Clocket, this reading week ... don't shake your head at me... YES WE ARE! WE"RE GOING TO DO IT!!!!

Alright.... we want pictures.
In this day and age of cell phones and internet and photoshop and avitars, there has to be at least one picture of each of our distinguished members enjoying their fish and custard experience.

DIDN'T ANYONE TAKE ANY PICTURES?

What's the matter with you people?

We never did it. My mum kind of judge me when I asked her to pick up fish sticks... we had the custard, we just needed my mum to go pick up the fish sticks. So I backed out. One day, when it is just Clocket and I.

No Dad, I'm sorry, we didn't take pictures... Should have thought of that actually...
