Creme anglaise (or Crème)


Explanation:
this the "original" custard made with eggs. Nowadays, most people associate custard with a ready-made powder mixed with milk - all it needs is a quick boil, nice 'n easy. This arose because making Creme anglaise with fresh eggs is a pain - the mixtures goes lumpy at the drop of a hat. One of the great advantages of the microwave is that Creme Anglaise is much easier to make and I think this is what your author is trying to express with "Eiercreme".

neutral  Textklick: The famous brand was developed by Mr. Bird because his wife liked custard, but was allergic to eggs. Gimme creme anglaise anytime, but only when dining in France ;-)
