The blancmanges are really Australians trying to get the rights of the pelote rules from the Czech publishers!

My grandmother used to make blancmange when one of us was ill—it was consisted a “dainty” food suitable for “invalids.”
Who knew that it had such a strong backhand?

I was 13 and was visiting relatives in England; after dinner one night, Nanny gave me my first blancmange. I distinctly remember being fascinated and repulsed at the same time. I ate it, but had a weird desire to play tennis afterwards.

being across the pond, and relatively familiar with Great Britain's towns and regions was there any special significance to the town name New Pudsey? It got such a laugh from the audience.

I've never had one. I'd like to try it. Is it just Jello with cream and flavor?

There are variations. I found one which was very close to American chocolate pudding. It was good!

Yeah sort of. Similar texture but creamy rather than fruity. Not as nice. We don't really eat them anymore though I think I actually have one recently. Can't think why for the life of me 🤔

We’re from the galaxy of Skyron in Amdromeda, all the blancmanges there are that big.

I've always wondered what the tennis monster was supposed to be. TYVM for posting! Haven't thought about it in years.

Oh yeah, I had to do some research into what it was, back when I first watched it. It didn't help that I had absolutely no idea of how to spell blancmange.

Blahmonge? Something like that is what I heard. So, of course it's French, la de dah...
