May 5th: National Chocolate Custard Day
Ancient Romans are credited with inventing Custard. Ancient Romans created many dishes from eggs as they are a great binding and thickening agent. Today custard powder is a popular thickening ingredient for custard as well as instant custard and pudding. True custard is made with an egg and milk mixture gently heated together. Many cooks like to decorate their custard with garnishes such as shaved chocolate and fruits.
