#blancmange

[shinobi-illuminator]

How did I not find this wholesome character fact sooner? Apparently Snape’s favorite food is Blancmange, it’s basically a custard with plums and cinnamon. He’d have it around Christmas in his youth and now it seems to be his only tradition around the holiday.

Who knew Snape had a sweet tooth.
