I see by your later posts that you are, indeed, British. My husband was a Mormon missionary in England in the 60’s. He came home with a taste for some kind of custard that you can buy a mix for, and some kind of toasted grain drink. I can’t remember the name of either. Also, fish and chips. He says it doesn’t taste the same unless there is newsprint on it. Also beans on toast, with an egg if they had enough money.

You mean Bird's custard.

It is even more instant now you just add boiling water to it whereas at one time you had to make it with milk.

The local supermarket I shop at do a very good instant custard mix. I cannot imagine apple pie or various sponge puddings without custard.

The toasted grain drink is puzzling me unless you mean orange or lemon barley which is a drink you mix with water.
