"...We also had facecream pudding, which was cornflour pudding (aka custard), thick and lumpy, coloured a delicate underwear or face cream pink, and flavoured with.....something..."

When we were served the same stuff at school, the kitchen staff called it "blancmange" - we just called it "pink sick" (the falvouring was supposed to be strawberry or raspberry - or something similar).
