Talk:Vla

Consistency

I would actually say that Vla is somewhat thinner than yoghurt. It is still absolutely yummy ;-) TinyMark 20:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Both different kinds of vla and different yoghurts vary wildly in consistency. Some yoghurt is so thick one almost cannot pour it, while the standard yoghurt Dirk sells is definitely thinner than the standard vanilla vla at the same store; it's really obvious when one pours a bit of both in a cup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 20:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Vanilla Pudding?

How is this any different from American vanilla pudding, which is milk, eggs, sugar, corn starch? Perhaps it should be incorporated into that page. Vajrapoppy (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

You're right. I don't see how this product is different from American pudding either. SergioGeorgini (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

There is no page on vanilla pudding. C mon (talk) 09:10, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Cornstarch pudding (the North American name for the product) is mentioned in the pudding article. Perhaps this article should be incorporated into that one. SergioGeorgini (talk) 14:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Vla is more liquid than vanilla puding. It's not the same. 19:01, 01 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.157.239.119 (talk)

Even if it contains slightly less cornstarch than its American equivalent and is thus somewhat runnier, it still doesn't seem to warrant its own article. It can be listed in the pudding article with all the other kinds. SergioGeorgini (talk) 23:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I believe it does warrant its own article: it is a significant part of Dutch culture. It will be the last course in basically every evening meal, and it's something I miss when abroad. However, I wonder about the "apple sauce" comment. I've never seen this, so it might be local to parts of the Netherlands. Can anyone verify this?202.20.0.152 (talk) 09:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Vla is not the same as pudding. As far as I know it doesnt contain eggs. I think a separate article is justified for vla. I have never eaten vla with applesauce, but I might try it sometime. EdBever (talk) 11:16, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

It says right in the article that it does contain eggs, and I suppose it would have to in order to reach a custard-like consistency. SergioGeorgini (talk) 14:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree with parent poster that vla does warrant its own article.
Never tried it with apple sauce either, but it sounds tasty. --oKtosiTe ^talk 08:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I also agree that it does warrant its own article. However it should be expanded with the variations in taste: While the plain old vanilla vla is more common, there are other variations, such as chocolate, various fruits, macaroon, and more. There is also whipped cream variations. It is also likely that the Vanilla Pudding in the US is actually based on the Dutch recipe, brought over by Dutch settlers.

History

"This dairy product made from fresh milk first appeared in the 1950s." It already is there for a much longer time according to the dutch wiki. They talk about the middle ages, it firstly was written as "Fla" but over the years the spelling changed.

Some other dutch websites speak about the 18th century, where there was something called "Vlade" which is simular to what is "Vla" currently. The 1950s is probabaly when the mass production started but that only started after people already made it at home. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.150.100.20 (talk • contribs)

The OED has (under flawn) Dutch vla cognate with Middle English flawn, Modern English and French flan, OHG flado and so on; citations for flawn date from the 14th century, so it's probably not unreasonable for fla / vla to be of similar antiquity. --Kay Dekker (talk) 19:13, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

The word ‘vlade’ originally referred to a round cake with filling. In the south the word changed to ‘vlaai’ without changing its meaning, but in the west the filling was often eaten separately and with time the word, which over time changed into ‘vla’, started to refer to the liquid filling rather than the cake as a whole. The change of meaning happened in the 18th century. http://gtb.inl.nl/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=WNT&id=M080603&lemmodern=vla Since then the recipe has changed and many different flavours have come and gone but fundamentally the meaning of the word hasn't changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 21:37, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

flessenlikkers

Flessenlikkers are still being sold at lots of stores so i removed the part that they are slowly getting out of use, and no longer mass produced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.45.173.112 (talk) 23:32, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Vla is an ingredient of vla?

I think that may need some fixing, haha. Rua (mew) 21:25, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
