May 2025 Starters Thread 8. Happy One Year Anniversary To Us!!

[FlorenceNightshade]

As promised a new thread for our Anniversary!

I hated the butterscotch flavour. I was a strawberry or banana girl. Interestingly most banana milkshakes at the cafe go to adults.

When I was a real teacher (rather a long time ago) I did a science experiment about taste. The children tried to distinguish between different angel delight flavours whilst blindfolded, so no colour cues. They couldn't, on the whole. So no one really has favourite flavours - just favourite colours.

I don't think H&S would allow this to happen nowadays. The allergies, the E numbers, the school healthy eating policy .....

So no one really has favourite flavours - just favourite colours.

I am smugly pleased, in that case, that my favourite colour is sophisticated beige. Very classy.

I have an innate horror of banana, @Gingercar unless it's an actual real, unadulterated banana. I was delighted when everyone started making banana bread in lockdown as it meant I wouldn't be obliged, as a confirmed Fat Biffer Cake-Eater at the time, to accept a slice and pretend it was nice. I'm sure that your concoctions are lush, though. I read your descriptions of your cakes with my nose pressed against the screen, and during your Cadbury's Mini Egg period considered volunteering my services as a sous chef.
