I was surprised to discover the first time lathany (and Bea) made quiche that it's actually way nicer than supermarket quiche (which I was already quite happy to eat).
I wonder how many other foods have surprisingly nice true forms I haven't discovered yet?
Actually, my attitude to Ambrosia is similar to my attitude to instant coffee - I actually rather like it, it's just sufficiently unlike the thing it's imitating that it ought to be considered a different thing :)
Ooh, no, not in my book :) Instant custard is an abomination.
(Actually, it depends what you mean. The Birds kind that you make with milk is kind of instantish, and does qualify. The instant instant kind you make with boiling water is just bad.)
