Wicklewood’s School Day’s Green Custard

Submitted by WicklewoodWench

"Friends of mine in America, and British friends who went to private schools, have never heard of mint or green custard, and they usually cringe at the idea of it. But anyone having had a typical State education will remember fondly the sight, smell and taste of green custard, especially when it is served with chocolate concrete, try Wicklewood’s Schooldays Chocolate Concrete (Gluten Free)# 439397. It is a favourite with kids and adults love it for the taste and the nostalgia For a more grown up version you could stir in 2 tablespoons of Crème de Menthe before serving."
