In the movie Das Boot there is a scene where they are in the officers dining quarters enjoying a dessert that includes cherries . This has been an intrigue to me to know what this dessert is ? Eureka ! It is called Blancmange made of milk or cream and sugar thickened with cornstarch or gelatin , ingredients surely on the list of rations on board a U Boat . Now when I plan a day of Silent Hunter 3 I will have total immersion by having a plate of Bully Beef and potatoes and Blancmange for dessert . The ultimate realism to an ultimate simulation .
