Re: Can you really walk on custard?
Yeah you can - has to be exactly the right mix and it has to be impacted on. Very few viscous liquids/gels can do it!

Re: Can you really walk on custard?
custard is thixotropic meaning that under hard forces it solidifies, hence the ability to run across custard as long as you smack you feet down hard

So if you eat a lot of custard and then take a sharp impact you stomach would become rock solid?
