[Sca-cooks] Custard was Real bacon

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach R J:

Yes indeedy. An industrial version of creme anglaise or sauce 
sabayon. I just meant that it's stabilized with a certain amount of 
starch, like a chemical pudding.

Then again, I wonder if commercial egg nog might be a fair substitute 
in a pinch, as a sauce for cake or trifle.
