Does the result of a recent vote mean that we can now get YELLOW custard, as apposed to the rather anaemic ivory coloured stuff that Birds give us? 

Currently, it is just not the same as it was, and if the colour can be improved (closer to the original bright yellow) I feel sure MOH can still make the lumps that make it absolutely top hole! 

You just can't beat a decent covering for your apple pie etc.,

    We always have proper yellow custard because the eggs we buy have yellow yolks. Simples.

    Now, are we talking of Crème Anglicize:

    Cream, vanilla, egg yolks and sugar, cooked on the stove to make a thick, sweet, sauce.

    Or :The the type made famous by Birds or Monk & Glass

    Cornflour, sugar, yellow colouring with flavouring (usually vanilla). Scalded with boiling milk.
