Custard is weird. It's utterly disgusting cold, it absolutely has to be hot, and its purpose is as a sauce, not a filling or a main flavour.

In any case, when it comes to the English language, the English are always right. It's USA who are wrong. They're the ones misusing the word "pudding". | |

Frozen custard sounds like a sumptuous name for ice cream. | |

Honestly, I find it kind of astonishing that you even have places like this. I assumed Ted Drewes would be serving a variety of fast food or desserts, but nah, just frozen custard. Like, who goes to eat just custard? It's a dessert, not a meal! | |

Ice cream doesn't have eggs by definition, but they can be added and it's still ice cream. I had to look it up. | |

I mean... an ice cream parlor doesn't sell actual food, either, or it'd be a restaurant, not an ice-cream parlor. | |

Creme brulee is a custard, flan is a custard-- hot custard sauces are actually relatively uncommon in the US. Not that they don't exist, but you're much more likely to find some sort of fruit, chocolate, or caramel sauces on a desert. The french actually call what Ong is describing Anglaise, so I guess it'd make sense that it's a British thing. | |

Speaking of surprises, I have to admit I didn't think the world could get any more fucked up than in Tiger King. But now there's a season 2 and it's even crazier. | |

Huh, TIL. Pretty much every ice cream recipe has eggs, the ones that don't are specifically vegan or some quicker shortcut version. I guess in commercial ice cream they use other cheaper stuff as emulsifiers. | |

As much as I like ice cream, I don't eat much of it largely because we don't have long summers here. It's not something I like to eat in November. | |

Yeah, I was surprised to realize this too-- my guess is that it wasn't a defined term until after alternative stabilizers/emulsifiers/food sciencey stuff was being employed in large scale production, or it was defined as a frozen custard and the big ice cream makers had enough push to inclusively define ice cream. | |

My dog is a big, strong, healthy labrador. As most people know, labs were specifically bred to work in cold water, retrieving nets for fishermen. | |

Just let them "save" him, so they get soaked. Wait until after to tell them he's a perfectly capable swimmer and was having fun. | |

Let them "save" him, then throw another stick/ball into the lake and send the dog back in. | |

You're the guy who posts regular updates on the local facebook group, taking photos of people who don't pick up their dog shit and shaming them. You make sure everyone in the neighbourhood knows there's a guy in a high viz jacket looking at houses. You complain about fireworks frightening the horses, even though you don't have horses. That's you, isn't it? | |

If it were just me and the idiot in the park it would be one thing, but they tend to make a scene and draw the attention of a couple more people who come over to see what all the fuss is about. Once or twice it's snowballed into there being two or three people trying to rescue my dog because one idiot has convinced some other idiots that he's on the verge of going under, when all he's trying to do is chase a ball ffs. | |

Ha, no. Not least because I've not got any social media accounts. That sounds more like the weird PRSE teacher at my school who lived opposite the park and seemed obsessed with teenagers drinking, fighting, shagging and smoking weed. There's a lot of moronic dog owners out there though who frequent my local park. | |

Its official name is Omicron (B.1.1.529) | |

For a worldwide organisation, the goons who name variants are surprisingly focussed on trolling the speakers of some obscure British dialect via anagram. | |

I did day "inadvertently" in an effort to make clear I'm not going down batshit conspiracy theory rabbit holes of the illuminati trolling us. It's pretty obviously a coincidence. | |

I'm more interested in what corner of the UK version of the hills from Deliverance you use the word "Crimbo" in. I've lived in the UK a long time and I've never heard anyone use it. | |

Best theory I've heard so far as to why they chose Omicron: It's named after a transformer (kids' toy) that is a "decepticon." | |

Not sure why you would get called out for a UK insult, but is scrub in the US like the scrub in that TLC tune? Scrub isn't used in the UK anymore as far as I know. Even then, it was scrubber and not shortened to scrub. | |

Only time I've ever heard the word "scrubber" as an insult is in Monty Python's Life of Brian, which was made in 1979 I think. It's a pretty outdated word. | |
