Views expressed are my own, it's easier than expressing someone else's. Nerdy, birdy, devourer of sciencey stuff I missed at school, unreasonably fond of ferries and trains. (Posts before Nov 2024 are imported from Twitter.)
The issue is with the title rather than the ingredients list. That's for Cottage Custard, traditionally served on Yorkshire pudding. (To make Shepherds' Custard use lamb dripping, not beef.)

Christmas is associated with a figure with a long white beard, surrounded by many elves - a clear Christianization of Gandalf.

History became legend
Legend became myth
Myth became a guy in a red suit at a department store

I can't argue with that, and suggest Formica Stool of Chastity for the Long Service Award. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

Should have mentioned it last week, but #DuvetKnowItsChristmas is in its 15th year. (A visual celebration of eccentric Xmas lodging arrangements started by @rhodri.biz which raises funds for a UK homeless charity. )

Bonus content: I just found a spare Christmas pudding from last year in the bedside cabinet. We’re going to decide whether to eat the old one or the new one in the morning. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

For those not in the know, apart from the hilarious (and sometimes scary) pics of sleeping arrangements #DuvetKnowItsChristmas aims to raise money for homeless charities. Centrepoint in the UK (www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...) or an equivalent local charity in your country.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

part of it, I think, is that they've shown that although loyalty is required, it is not rewarded, and the administration will backstab the people who humiliate themselves to support them. you have to be truly desperate or unable to see the world clearly.
