This week’s prompt was;

…and the custard tasted like…

A challenge as most  (or all?) of my pupils have never tried custard!

This week’s story comes from Hélène Chevallier from class 4B.

During my last Christmas holidays in London, I was dying to try a British speciality I had been told about : the afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason, known worldwide for their vanilla custard. So I went there. Greedy as I am, I was excited and impatient. What a disappointment when the waiter told me that they had just run out of custard! Too many clients had ordered this dessert before me. I was so sad and frustrated! But the worst was to come. Leaving the café, I heard an old woman telling her husband: “Oh what a delight, the custard tasted like heaven!”
