In the red corner, we have the Custard Cream. In the blue corner, the bourbon cream. Which is better? I am a supporter of the Custard, yet my friend is a man of Bourbon tastes. What about you, people of NationStates? Which do you support?

The Custard Cream (http://www.westons.com/acatalog/glu183d_large.jpg) or the Bourbon Cream (http://www.everythingtrini.com/trinifood/images/devon_bourbon.jpg)?

Custard, of course. Mainly because I've never had cookies/biscuits with Bourbon cream, but I bet I'd still prefer custard.

I was about to explain why Custard is the most dangerous, but then I realized I could be giving terrorists ideas. Suffice to say people have died in explosions in custard factories, I kid thee not.

Improperly handled custard powder is a fuel-air bomb waiting to happen. If there is a high enough concentration of floating particals of custard powder in the air of small enough size, then a naked flame can cause an explosion. Custard powder is not to be trifled with.

You know to much about the pyrotechnic properties of buiscuits.

That's nothing. My mother was almost hospitalized by an exploding tin of caramel.

One of my relatives once blew the door off the oven with a tin of baked beans...

Incidentally, I *think* you can use flour instead of custard powder. You'll excuse me if I don't experiment to verify, I hope ;)
(We always used custard powder in science lessons, though.)

Oh, and Bourbon. Definitely :)

Bourbon, all the way - come on people, chocolate!

And yeah, custard powders good for that, as is flour and any other powder basically.

Incidentally did you knw you can actually walk on custard? It's surface tension when trodden on is sufficient to keep you afloat.

So those stories about men boiling to death in vats of hot custard are all lies?

(You know, I always wondered if they tinned that custard anyway and like sold it in New Guinea or something.)
