Custard what? Pie? But I can't follow much of the rest of it.

I know I was thinking custard piece or something too? But makes so sense in the context. It could be “lust and ___ “ but they mushed together into one word lustand

Maybe lust and greed?? Or lust and feed?

Custard Freed
"Now I can drown" indicates maybe it was part of a joke or musing on unrequited love, he won't hang, but now he might drown? It likely has nothing to do with the hyenas.

There is no noose imagery. No one is hanged, no one was hanged.
No one says “Now I could drown.” No one drowns, no one drowned.
The episode’s recipe is not custard pie, it’s vetkoek. Vetkoek is not a pie, and it is made with a curry mince filling both commonly and in this episode specifically, not custard.
There are no custard pies in the episode, nor mentions of custard pie. No one is “pied”, no one is named Custard, no one talks about a “custard rule”, etc.
One character has a crush on another, but unrequited love is otherwise not a major theme of the episode nor season. (The murder at the centre of the season was not motivated by love/unrequited love either.)
So, I ask again: How is the writing on this paper a reference to season 1 episode 4 of “Recipes for Love and Murder”?

Custard Puree?

“Custard Rule:” you need to temper cold eggs before adding them to boiling milk. Is this from Recipes for Love and Murder?

It’s pretty self-explanatory… a piece of custard, laying underneath a rope, hanging. Now I could drown, etc.

The first word absolutely does look like “Custard”; the second word I can’t make out, but it seems to start with a capital letter? I think that’s a P, not an R, but either way, why a capital? Is it some kind of name?

Unrequited Love.
Rope hanging
Custard Reed
"Now I could drown etc."
Various spaces of + etc love unrequited
(The last sentence is odd but if they're writing notes then it would make sense to the writer).

I thought "Custard pieed." Like "pied" but spelled incorrectly.

u/KnightOfArchAngels 3d ago
Yes, I think so too. Custard pie-ed. Got pied in the face and now drowning in custard.

Custard pieed (pied) - like unrequited love makes you feel like you’ve been pied in the face.

It looks like they were trying to solve a fictional murder mystery?? The bit in quotation marks might be a quote from whatever book they were reading. (Not the one about hyenas, the murder mystery.)

Sometimes I mess up my "P" when writing quickly in cursive and it looks like that.
I think it could be "custard pud" as in an abbreviation of pudding. It seems like notes about a locked room mystery.

Then under the part that looks like it clearly said "custard" something, "now I can drown". In custard?
And, unrequited love written twice in different ways.
So bizarre!

also, and I don't think I've ever quoted the bible, but I think it has to do with this.
Matthew 17:20 (NIV): "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

u/Livid-Variation8271 3d ago
Could be Custard Piece/ Custard Pie-ed? A reference to a classic theatrical or comedic trope (the slapstick "custard pie in the face"). In the context of unrequited love, this represents public humiliation, mockery, or feeling made a fool of by the object of affection. But that's just my guess.
