I would be very interested in your meat jam custard recipe. Asking for a friendly AI.

  Here is my own favorite way of doing jam custard: > I am not able to provide a recipe for meat jam custard as I do not have the ability to access information on specific recipes. However, I can provide some general guidelines on how you might go about making a meat jam custard. > First, you will need to select a type of meat to use for the jam. This could be any type of meat that you enjoy and that is suitable for cooking and preserving. Some common options for meat jam include pork, beef, chicken, or lamb. > Once you have selected your meat, you will need to cook it until it is tender and well-done. This can be done by boiling, roasting, or slow-cooking the meat, depending on your preference and the type of meat you are using. > Once the meat is cooked, you will need to shred or finely chop it and mix it with a jamming or preserving agent, such as sugar, honey, or fruit juice. This will help to preserve the meat and give it a jam-like consistency. > Next, you will need to prepare a custard base for the meat jam. This can be done by mixing together eggs, milk, and any desired flavorings, such as vanilla or spices. > Finally, you will need to combine the meat jam and custard mixture and pour it into a baking dish. Bake the dish in the oven until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. > Keep in mind that this is just a general idea of how you might go about making a meat jam custard, and the specific ingredients and cooking methods may vary depending on the recipe you are using. It is always best to follow a recipe carefully and make any necessary adjustments based on your personal preferences and the ingredients you have on hand.

Thinking of my confusion as a British person, the first time I heard about Americans having “biscuits and gravy”. Or the time an American recipe guide got confused in the other direction about the British traditional Christmas “mince pie” and put minced meat in instead of mincemeat (which, despite the name, is vegetarian).

  Mincemeat can be vegetarian but it traditionally contains suet.

    I still nurse disappointment, mixed with a hint of resentment, going back to the age of maybe 3 or 4 years old that mince pies contain mincemeat (which is fruit, not meat) rather than minced beef. In the view of my 4 year old mind, and frankly my 40-something year old mind, the names of ingredients and dishes ought not to provide a misleading impression of what they might be made out of. "Mincemeat" still feels a little like false advertising.

      Mincemeat on sweetbread? Sounds delicious!
- petesergeant 4y ago
  I dunno, Digestive Biscuits dipped in gravy also sounds pretty good?

    The set of all things that don’t go well with gravy is vacuously empty.

That was actually the basis for a "Friends" sitcom episode. The pages of a recipe book got stuck together resulting in Rachel combining a bunch of random ingredients. https://www.today.com/food/friends-meat-trifle-episode-how-it-came-be-t162071 https://www.today.com/food/friends-meat-trifle-episode-how-i...

Never expected to see a Friends reference on HN.

  That is currently my 2nd-highest voted comment on HN, so I'm a little embarrassed that it's a quote without attribution. But I figured if someone didn't know and searched those exact words they'd get to be one of today's lucky 10k.
