Boy, this brings back memories! The excuses my siblings and I would come up with not to eat it. Was a dessert (pudding) growing up in England. Believe spelling is Blancmange, (with the accent & dialects, could sound like blumonge) a vanilla & gelatin base, with very hot(scalding) milk. Hopefully, you can find recipe on line. Enjoy! me, I can still taste it. Ha ha.
I remember from the book "Little Women" that they made something called Blanc mange, it is probably a French recipe. I wonder if this is the name of this dessert. Good luck!
