[In 14th c. blancmanger, a. OF. blanc-manger (earlier -mangier), lit. ‘white food or dish,’ f. blanc white + manger to eat, eating, food. Blanc fell already in 14th c. to blam-, bla-, blau-, later blawe-, blow-, blo-, bla-, and manger was in 18th c. abridged to mange. The present spelling is a half attempt at restoring the French, but the pronunciation is that of the 18th c. blomange, blamange, often garnished with a French nasal, by those who know French.]
†a. Formerly: A dish composed usually of fowl, but also of other meat, minced with cream, rice, almonds, sugar, eggs, etc. Obs.
b. Now: A sweetmeat made of dissolved isinglass or gelatine boiled with milk, etc., and forming an opaque white jelly; also a preparation of cornflour and milk, with flavouring substances.
