It’s just that whenever I think about custard this joke (which came via my niece Eleanor when she was about six or seven) was all I could think about. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!qCbZ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpub
