Also if you have the herb Sweet Cicely and add some of that, it sweetens the rhubarb so you don't need to add so much sugar.

Apart from Bird's custard, Heinz tomato soup is a fav of mine. However, I got some Smash (dried potato, just add water & butter for mash) as I had fond memories from childhood.

It's probably cultural, but I think Bird's Custard is disgusting.<BR/><BR/>Creme anglaise, on the other hand, is divine.<BR/><BR/>I'm the same with mayonnaise. I can't stand any of the British ones that come in jars and, as for salad cream, ugh. But a home-made mayonnaise?
