I haven’t noticed much difference. I still love it.

I still like custard. Not really noticed it’s different.

Custard at primary school was lovely, thick and yellow, ladled out of big containers.

Yum!

Years ago when I had five teenage boys to feed I often made some sort of pud with custard to fill them up. I used Birds custard powder, and we always enjoyed it. Now that we’re just two old biddies we haven’t eaten puddings for years, but the other day I did make us one - with the Birds custard powder and it was horrible! It tasted so strongly of vanilla, which I don't like. Has it changed do you think, or is it me?
