Dear Arabella

I find it depends alot on the custard.  Certainly modern custards seem
to be reasonably delicate.  However, Mistress Ysabeau makes a really
scrumptuous period custard tart-type thing, which seems to keep for
absolute ages in the fridge.  She cooked some for a feast I ran, and I
forgot to take one container of them.  They were in the fridge outside,
so I forgot about them till about a fortnight later and there they were,
as good as new. So sad, I had to eat them all.  : )  

I shall see if she can tell me what recipe she uses, and let you know.
