Canada's Top Reviewed British Shop
No binoculars needed. Just custard powder, a jug and a pudding that wants covering.
Bird’s Custard Powder and a trifle kit are different stages of the pudding argument. Strawberry or raspberry trifle then gives the household something more specific to disagree about. The packet explains what you need to add; the bowl and a plausible reason for making trifle are yours to supply.
No binoculars needed for this one. This collection is all about Bird's, the custard name that has sat in British kitchen cupboards for generations and turned up at more Sunday lunches, school dinners and family puddings than anyone could count. It is a small, focused range: the classic Bird's Custard Powder in a 300g tub, plus Bird's Trifle in Strawberry and Raspberry, both in 141g packs. If you grew up with a jug of yellow custard going round the table, or you have only ever heard people describe it with real feeling, this is where to start, all shipped from Canada by The Great British Shop.
For a lot of people, Bird's Custard Powder simply is custard. You mix it with milk and sugar, stir it over the heat, and end up with that smooth, familiar pudding custard that goes over crumble, sponge, stewed fruit, jam roly-poly or a slice of pie that needs finishing off properly. The 300g tub is the one to keep on hand, because once custard is back in the house, there always seems to be a reason to make it again, thick for some, pourable for others, and argued about either way.
Trifle is one of those desserts that shows up at Christmas, birthdays and family gatherings, usually in a glass bowl so everyone can admire the layers before demolishing them. Bird's Trifle comes in Strawberry and Raspberry, so you can choose your fruit and get on with building something that looks the part. It is a good pick for anyone who wants a taste of a British party table without hunting down every component separately, and for anyone introducing Canadian friends to the idea that custard belongs in a layered pudding.
We ship across the country, so these head out to Halifax and Dartmouth, Toronto and Ottawa, Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, Kitchener, Moncton, Saint John and St. John's without you having to search every international aisle in town. Add a tub of custard powder to a bigger order of biscuits, chocolate and crisps, or pick up a trifle or two ahead of a family get-together. Either way, this collection makes it easy to get British Bird's favourites delivered across Canada.
