One packet of Angel Delight is four servings?!

I’m flabbergasted. Just treating myself to some Banana Angel Delight as you do and noticed when made up it’s meant to serve four people! Unless it means four kids , cos I appreciate it’s probably not aimed at my age group, but all the same.. Is that right or am I just greedy?

We used to have them as children so between 3

But as an adult I have one packet of butterscotch into 2 portions with sliced banana SmileSmileSmile

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 02/12/2020 18:05

I personally found a whole packet was an entire serving!

TheProvincialLady · 02/12/2020 18:05

How many servings did you think it makes, out of interest?

We always had it on Sundays when I was a child, until I just couldn’t bear it any more as it’s so foul (sorry!). One packet served 4 of us.

It is intended to serve 2 adults and 2 DC - one pack for one (standardised) family

I think this sort of thing might be a factor in the difference between typical weight of the population between the 1970s (when it was new and was a whole family pudding) and now

In olden days portions maybe

Sparklingbrook · 02/12/2020 18:08

I haven't had Angel Delight for years and now I want the butterscotch and banana thing you describe @SUBisYodrethwhenLarping.

How about this though? Selling it in B&M according to DS2.

Oh, you have reminded me I have a Tub of angel delight in the cupboard. Pudding sorted!

I personally found a whole packet ought to.go in the bin. Revolting stuff. And banana flavour would take the revoltingness to even more life-threatening levels.

MrsGrindah · 02/12/2020 18:10

Anyway I shall be having half now and half tomorrow and bugger the packet instructions!

One pack does me, my 5yo and my 2yo. If we had it when DH was home as well then it would be tiny portions.

AudTheDeepMinded · 02/12/2020 18:10

I use one sachet between three children, using those Gu glass pots, just right! I add chopped banana if feeling extravagant.

Tubs you say? Now I'm interested...
MrsGrindah · 02/12/2020 18:13

I’m envisioning serving it up after dinner for me DH and SD and her partner! Grin

I find it could
Potentially serve my 2 kids twice. But I dish out their portions and then I eat what is left.

MrsGrindah · 02/12/2020 18:14

@Sparklingbrook Oh wow! That looks tooth- rottingly amazing.

EdithWeston · 02/12/2020 18:15

Banana sounds as if it would be disgusting.

But the butterscotch is wonderful!!

MissDollyMix · 02/12/2020 18:16

Well I always put a few slices of banana in the bottom and then, yes, 1 packet = pudding for 2 adults and 2 children.

Doesn't it?! I can't believe DS2 didn't buy it. Sad

LazyName · 02/12/2020 18:17

I thought this before - I always have one pack just for me, fits in a standard bowl perfectly so I am not sure how I’d ever share it between 4!

Harmarsuperstar · 02/12/2020 18:18

We used to share it between 2 adults and 2 children, in the 80s

MrsGrindah · 02/12/2020 18:34

DH has announced he’ll be having some with double cream! So bang goes tomorrow’s portion

Strawberry Angel delight made into ice lollies are delicious

WutheredOut · 02/12/2020 18:43

Butterscotch Angel Delight serves two people when served with a packet of Maryland chocolate chip cookies as chips ‘n’ dip 😇

Blacktothepink · 02/12/2020 18:45

I favour strawberry and eat a whole one, no way am I sharing it!
