Custard Tarts. 06:20 - Dec 17 with 922 views

Every day for the last few weeks my Tesco Express in Benters hasn’t had any custard tarts in the store.

Yesterday we went shopping in a massive Tescos the same thing no custard tarts.

Is anyone else struggling to find them?

I guess it’s the mince pies fault.

2 things.

1) Both versions are great, no need for favouritism.

2) The Portuguese one is available in pretty much every supermarket or baker in the UK anyway.

I wasn't having a pop, just defending the good old british custard tart!

This is the problem with stuff written down, sometimes loses the lightness that may be intended in the words.

I'm definitely not looking for beef about cakes though.

Mmmmmm. Cakes.

On point (2), they all taste rubbish compared to the real thing rolling fresh out of the oven every 5 minutes in Portugal though.

When was the last time you had a custard tart ? I can’t find them loads of those ridiculous custard slices about though,I can’t be bothered with those.

….I had a Saturday job in the bakery at Asda.

They used to make the custard tart mix the night before and leave it in the butchery fridge overnight.

After I’d left I found out that the butchers used to wee in the mix before it was poured into the pastry cases and baked.

True story.

Not sure about cold custard buh, not sure it should be eaten in any other form then as the layer just above jelly in a trifle.

Could yer not make do with a 10 pack of Tunnocks?

So a double problem here - surely custard shouldn't be sharing fridge space with raw meats?

Farmers have said the dry weather this year has resulted in a poor custard crop.

People dont appreciate how the weather impacts crops they think its trifle

My dear chap! Could you, perchance, try asking Sir Wesley Burns to get you together with your heart's desire?

"Burns, Burns will pair you a tart, again."

There veritably is only one Sticky Mockwell, don't you know.

Would love to, but the king of trifles is probably to busy to acknowledge my existence this time of year. Like to think he's busy soaking his spongy fingers in alcohol ready for the Xmas evening buffet.
