which people found cute when they thought about them in a nostalgic haze, but couldn't be arsed to actually shop at and didn't value more than they valued supermarket discounts.

# I'd look into the prviders and the people forced into providing for these companies.
In the US, and happening more now in the UK, they unit cost are hammered down so much they farmholders are forced to sell their land, the lands are bought up by the comglomerates and then the landowners are made sub-miniums wages empoloyees on their own lands.

# There are ways for farmers to do alright
(Although farming is just weird anyway from a free enterprise point of view due to to subsidies and shit.)
My Asda sells locally produced eggs, which I always buy, for reasons which escape me (I guess I've been successfully marketed to by brand image). And there are all the niche strategies for making a farm into a successful business by selling something unique. If you're just churning out the same old butter* as everybody else then you don't really deserve to make money, since you aren't doing anything special.

...anyway I have to go and watch some horror films now, see you later.

*yes I know that would probably be made in an industrial dairy rather than a farm, unless it was really classy butter, but I left it in for rhetoric.

# You're confusing locally sourced eggs with

I've always wanted to try eggnog, but I hadn't realised it was made with brandy, I'm really intolerant to it apparently so now it seems I shall never get to sup the fatty nectar!

And also, the alcohol is to make it adult eggnog I believe. So you can have it without.

# Surely Eggs, Milk/Cream, Caster Sugar and Vanilla pod
is your basic Custard recipe - so you are drinking a glass of custard and then by adding Alcohol you have Custard in a cup with a kick!

# You are almost right fair maiden,
but a basic custard recipe would require a lot less milk than that for that amount of eggs.

Roughly 200mls milk with 6 eggs would be about right. Also, custard needs more sugar :D

But the ingredients, yes!

# To be honest with you,
unless you are making something special, it isn'y necessarily worth making your own custard. It isn't as simple as it sounds, and you are more than likely to cook the eggs too quickly if you aren't careful. The reason that Birds and such are so succesful is simply because their custard is so good.
