Custard, a creamy delight that has stood the test of time. From its humble beginnings to becoming a beloved dessert staple, it has delighted taste buds for generations. In 1902, an advertisement for Birds Custard Powder showcased the perfect pairing of rhubarb and this delectable treat - a match made in culinary heaven. The image of a bunch of rhubarb alongside a bowl filled with smooth custard is enough to make anyone's mouth water. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves in Lisbon, Portugal indulging in Pastel de Belem or Pasteis de Nata custard tarts served with a steaming cup of coffee. These delicate pastries are simply irresistible and leave us craving more. But custard isn't just about satisfying our sweet tooth; it also holds some unexpected surprises. Who could forget the iconic image of helmets and custard pies colliding? A whimsical moment that brings laughter and joy to all who witness it. Bird's Custard takes center stage once again as we delve into history through their advertisements from the 1940s. In wartime Britain, Bird's Custard provided comfort amidst uncertainty, reminding families of home during challenging times. Highlighting its nutritional value when paired with rhubarb in another advert from 1932 shows how versatile this dessert can be - not only delicious but also nourishing for our bodies. Whether enjoyed on its own or incorporated into delightful treats like Pastel de Belem or Pasteis de Nata custard tarts, custards continue to captivate our taste buds worldwide. So next time you indulge in a velvety spoonful of Bird's Custard or savor the flaky layers of Portuguese delicacies, remember that behind every bite lies years of tradition and pure culinary bliss.
