The pudding was actually quite simple – roughly 14 ounces of coconut milk, and 1 cup each of sugar and cornstarch or tapioca flour. That version, the first night, was rubber ball bouncy… I added more liquid the next night in the form of another 8 ounces of sweeteened condensed milk, which gave it a softer, though still chewy texture. Just not my thing – I like the kind of pudding that Bill Cosby would be happy with!

I’m not quite sure that I’m up for a Don Carlos experience at this point – I’m trying to drop a few kilos!

I guess what I had was off as you’ve suggested, or a different variety, it can’t be the same thing that is put in dishes…I like garlic, leeks and onions, and no matter how strong they can smell, they would not come close to the stuff I smelled. Maybe the one used in cooking is subjected to some further processing and this one was unprocessed…I got curious now!
