    You'll probably find it much better if you use FULL FAT milk, but 'Birds' also make an 'INSTANT' version, where you don't even need milk, just boil a kettle of water !!!

    i've seen the instant packets on amazon; haven't found it locally (maybe hiding somewhere at cost plus?)

    is "full fat" the same as what we'd call "whole" milk here or 2%?

    Whole milk. Use slightly less than a pint also - makes nice thick custard.
    Although I have a recipe for making your own custard.
    Anyway, I use a tin of evaporated milk, when using Birds custard.

    We have many European foods in the UK.
    Difficult to find any British restaurant.
    Only Carveries, that I know of.

    One way of getting a full roast dinner, but I prefer to do my own - then whatever remains of the beef joint, afterwards, I make a stew with for the next couple of days.
