AIBU about Angel Delight?

[Zampa]

I think layering different flavours of Angel Delight would be nice. DH thinks the flavours should be kept separated, to maintain their integrity.

I'm referring to banana, chocolate and butterscotch. Not strawberry. Even I wouldn't go that far.

Don't @ me if you don't like Angel Delight. We couldn't be friends.

I used to make frog surprise pudding with Angel Delight, when I was a skint single mum.
Slice of cheap Swiss roll in a bowl, AD tipped over it (any flavor, but butterscotch figured strongly) , marshmallows for eyes, Smarties for a nice, quick scrape round to make the mouth shape- Frog surprise!
When the kids said it didn't look like a frog, that was the surprise! I used to make a variety of animals, and if they actually looked like what they were supposed to be, then that was a surprise as well. Happy days!

Smarties for a NOSE, fgs!

I remember in the 80s there were many shelves dedicated to them. Sainsbury's did their own brand in lots of different flavours my favourites being choc orange and mint choc. Still remember the italic scroll type font with a photo of it made up in a glass bowl on the packaging!

Now they do ready made angel delight in pots next to the jellies.

Best is chocolate and butterscotch piled SIDE BY SIDE in a cereal bowl. And I’m not sharing.

Just butterscotch...with maltesers dropped in

I’ve just put a packet of Butterscotch into my Sainsbury’s basket.

Dh might threaten to leave me. I’m sure he’ll be disgusted...me, I’m excited!

When we used to take the guides camping, many years ago. We put in smarties, wait for it, "INSTANT WHIP" !!!!

@LonginesPrime if it an’t dehydrated, I ain’t serving it

Butterscotch with smashed crunchie bars stirred through was the pudding of my dreams in a late 70's childhood. Left in the fridge for a few mins so the chocolate and honeycomb start melting into the Angel Delight but not so long that the crunchy parts completely dissolve.

I tried replicating it a little while ago with soya milk. Do NOT try this

I made some white chocolate Angel Delight the other day, was chuffed the kids didn’t like it so ate it all to myself with some strawberries.

I’m all up for layering flavours but not keen on banana flavoured anything.

Im buying some tomorrow! Chocolate and butterscotch fan here with chocolate vermicelli or smashed crunchie.

I made raspberry angel delight last week with coconut milk. Disappointing, will stick to dairy in future.

Ooh I haven't had Angel Delight for decades. I used to love it as a kid. This thread has made me feel very nostalgic. Strawberry was the norm in out house in the 70s and it was a treat we got after Sunday lunch with tinned strawberries or fruit cocktail. I liked the butterscotch too, as did my brother but when he left home to go to University we stopped having it as nobody else liked it. We never had mixed flavours but I can see it could work - a bit like Neapolitan ice cream I guess. That's another childhood memory in fact. I remember it coming in a kind of a block in a cardboard box, before plastic tubs were the norm. Much more environmentally friendly really. We didn't have a proper freezer till I was in my teens, just a little ice box at the top of the fridge. So if we were having ice cream Mum used to get one of us to run up to the corner shop just before tea and the shop keeper would wrap it in newspaper for us. We had to eat the whole box in one sitting, but that wasn't too difficult as it wasn't like the big pots you get now. Ahh, those were the days!
Best hot pudding was Creamola - like a mixture of ground rice and custard powder. I dont think they make that any more but it was gorgeous!

Separate.

Banana in the bin.

Completely with @Pilipilihoho and layer with caramel sauce and white chocolate curls and fudge chunks 🙈

I live in the US and thought I'd have to wait until my next trip home, but to my DELIGHT, I have discovered that Amazon sells it!!

On Prime too, so I could get it delivered free by Monday!!!!

I remember the advert with the the huge glass footed bowl and the AD being poured into it with a swirl and a cherry dropping on the top. I thought it was bliddy disgusting ....and then years later, possibly the eighties, I had a mouthful of it and was gutted that I'd been missing out on it every Sunday tea throughout the 70s.
The thing is when I was younger a packet of AD would have fed a family of five ..( 4 in my case because I was unaware how gorgeous it was and was refusing to even take a mouthful) but now our portion sizes have increased so much there's no way I would expect to feed that amount of people AD as a dessert out of one packet.

What is this white chocolate angel delight of which you speak? Will have to go and search for at the shops tomorrow. Butterscotch is the best, but willing to try white choc. In the 70s my mum used to chop up mars bars and drop the bits in to choc or butterscotch. I'd forgotten that until this thread. Or there was whisked up evaporated milk mixed with pink jelly to make a bubbly dessert.

@imcold. Bloody enabler!! 2 bottles of Dooleys winging their way to me 🥴shouldn’t be drinking it (diabetic!) but st Christmas I try to pretend I’m not! (I have friends coming, I don’t intend to drink both bottles solo) because apparently I’ll need to allow for Angel Fight as well!!

I can feel my blood sugars rising at the ‘thought’ of it 😫

I don’t think Angels Fight, but they do Delight! Damn phone!

Last time I was in the UK I had a whole packet to myself for lunch one day.

'Twas as lush as I remembered.

Banana angel delight is vomit inducing. It’s like amoxicillin medicine.

I had an ear infection when I was about 8 or 9 and my main memory of it was the delicious banana medicine. Artificial banana flavour is usually much better than actual bananas. I'd rather have banana AD than actual banana. Butterscotch is best, though.

Big Sainsbury's does quite a few Angel Delights, plus no added sugar own brand, which doesn't taste any different to me. (Because obviously healthy eating is top of your mind when you have Angel Delight.)

I am not sure I approve of these radical layering ideas, though. (Probably because I am not keen on chocolate or strawberry ones.)

Mmmmmm....Angel Delight. Butterscotch.

I am so saving this thread and getting me some angel delight in, some great ideas on here!

Butterscotch Angel Delight layer with chocolate and grated Mars on the top. Lush!

I’m going to have to buy some tomorrow now, and will try the frog surprise as my kids love the “frog in the toilet” trick with loo rolls and an empty loo roll tongue.
Might be tempted to try strawberry with jelly, and the neopolitan one. I remember having AD and cream for pudding at primary school, those were the days!
