To think you can't eat a custard slice without making a massive mess?

[SaltnPeppaPig]

If you can, share your technique.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm talking about one of these:

I want one too now.

I eat the custard with a teaspoon.

Turn it on its side...still messy but less so

And use a cake fork

Sideways and open wide

Slice in half horizontally. Eat each half separately, saving the icing half until last of course.

Well, you can... you can turn it on its side (so that cutting doesn't squish it) and cut into bite-sized slices and pop them in your mouth. But where's the fun in that?

I usually take off the top. Eat the custard with the bottom best I can, custard squirting everywhere, and save the iced bit for last as best. Yes it makes a mess.

Eat the layers off separately, start from the bottom then you get the finish with the icing layer 😃

I'm going to have to go buy one now.

Heard a podcast this week where someone had to eat messy food in the garden naked (as a child). I take the same approach with custard slices.

I have never thought of turning it on its side, genius!

I don't like having the icing layer without a bit of custard.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord @Moonlightsonatas finally I have found my people

Yeah I eat them on their side too.

gonna go get one now

I am an expert In there as I have too many from Greggs. If you try to bite both pastry layers together it squashes together and the custard squishes out. Only bite 1 layer and some custard in a bite. Take a bite from bottom layer then top and repeat. It doesn’t squash the custard then.

I can also recommend the Bavarian slice from Greggs. It is superior to the custard slice as it has a layer of jam as well!

This. Best way to eat it, and no mess!

This.

Take the top off and put it underneath. Then you have custard on the top and a double layer underneath. All the pleasure and none of the mess.

First take off the top layer and eat with your fingers. Next use a cake fork to tackle the rest - same technique for cream slices

😂😂😂. That’d do it!

Yes! Wow! :)

Spoon and a bowl! Same for those lovely cream and jam iced ones.

I eat the top layer, then lick out the custardy middle layer, and finish by eating the base.
I only ever eat them at home. On my own.

How did I not know these existed?!
