What is flummery?

Flummery is generally a type of pudding that originated in the UK (Great Britain) hundreds of years ago and still exists in a number of forms to this day. The bowl can often use corn starch as a thickener and can use various ingredients, although fresh berries, cream and oatmeal are quite common. Once it was considered a very special delicacy, although it eventually became ridiculed as a non -compromised and less satisfactory dessert than the others made available through newer cooking techniques. Flummery is usually as tasty as the ingredients used to create it and can move from boring Flan to a much more vivid and unique pudding. Similar in many ways, as oatmeal can be used in ground masks such as chopper and meatballs, oatmeal is an inexpensive way to enlarge food to feed more people. However, this usually do not give a great taste to eat and many modern flummery recipes will drop completely oatmeal in favor of tastier methods of preparation.

One popular form of Irish flummeria maintains oatmeal in a bowl, but adds enough other ingredients to prevent the final product to become something reminiscent. Strong cream is whipped until soft peaks are formed, at this point it is combined with roasted almond slices and oatmeal, heated honey, lemon juice, berries such as raspberries or blueberries and Irish whiskey. The resulting flummerie is soft, creamy and almost exploding with a flavor.

Simple Flummeria can be made by a combination of gelatin, cream and sugar. The flavored gelatin can be used to add a little taste or gelatin with vanilla can be used. The gelatin is prepared with boiling water and then allowed to cool before mixing with the cream. This combination is mixed up is soft and slightly airy, before it can not cool for several hours to thicken properly.Fresh berries can also be added to create a simple but tasty dessert.

Flummery also appeared as a term of mockery outside the culinary contexts. Due to the tendency of early versions to be mostly oatmeal and creamy, with a small other taste or texture, food often lacked a great real content. The name was widespread for the kitchen area and is often used to describe something that is missing with the meaning or general insipid.
