It was sort of a sweet and sour effect. Not sure why it would taste sour.
Hell, I probably dumped curdled milk in there for all I know.

ROFLMAO!

I just had another flat tire. I made a batch of Jell-O custard, which I
microwaved in a large Pyrex measuring cup (much easier to dispense into
serving dishes that way). Well, I measured out two cups of milk instead of
one, nuked according to directions, put them in their little custard cups,
and took an all-day nap.

Got up an hour or so ago, and they were completely runny. So, I added
another packet (I know, I'm a failure as a cook), another yolk, and
re-cooked it.

Final result is grainy and totally unappealing. I hadn't seen the stuff in
decades, and just wanted to see if I still liked it. I'm still not sure.
