I liked most puddings in school,😀only wish there were more restaurants that served some of the traditionals instead of the standard chocolate fondant or creme brulee.
I'd love to have an apple and rhubarb crumble or similar cooked by a professional chef.
I tend to skip puddings most times eating eat out coz the options tend to be poor.
Never done me any harm1 -
Definitely needs beer (preferably stout) and Worcester sauce too. Perhaps an egg. Never heard of soaking the bead in wine. Surely it would disintegrate?Karim_myBagheri said:

Now that’s one from the past, my mum used to knock up a good one.😌
though i was told sometimes the bread is soaked in wine before toasting it.0 -

Gypsy tart.orpingtonRED said:What was that brown piece of tart served in school that looked like shit but tasted lovely? Very sweet but I used to eat mine and about 3 of my mates portions.
Mind is having trouble remembering the name1 -
Gypsy tart originated on the Isle of Sheppey.
According to the legend, an elderly women saw some gypsy children playing in the fields. Since they looked a little on the skinny, undernourished side, the woman wanted to make something for them to eat, but she only had a few things in her pantry. From these paltry ingredients the gypsy tart was born.
And thereafter every school child who attended a school in Kent was subjected to this abomination. Yuk!0 -

It's good to have a local invention! Other parts of the country have Cornish Pasties, Haggis, Scouse, Cumberland Whirls, Melton Mowbray Port Pies etc, we have Gypsy Tart
Indeed, while Kent might be famous for apples and hops, does Kent have any other food products it can claim as its own?0 - Sponsored links:

You are probably talking about grammar, so this probably has nothing to do with it but I first read this in the 'tory' times I only went with the mail as far as I know it's one of the only papers which is free to read online.Chizz said:I'm afraid I only got as far as "...1 in 5 have..." before leaving the "journalism" of the Mail Online well alone, again.
Do they really not bother to teach their sub editors that it should be "...1 in 5 has..."?0 -
Avocado: cut in half, remove stone, cut down to the skin in a cross-hatch pattern, push from the outside to invert. (Or don’t bother with avocado).seth plum said:Two things I have never mastered are how to peel an Avocado, and do aubergines that don’t end up as a lump of bitter slime.
Aubergine: cut in half lengthwise, grill both sides.0 -
Stir every now and again.seth plum said:….oh, and doing porridge in a microwave without completely splattering the whole inside of it.0 -
You can cut mangoes in a similar way as well, though the stone is hard to removeAddicksAddict said:

while I like everything in that, it doesn't sound appealing to me at allGribbo said:Sausage meat pie with boiled eggs in it
Was at his 30th many moons ago and he was doing a yard of ale type thing through a long plastic tube/ hose type thing with a funnel at one end into which his mates were emptying bottles of beer.
Needless to say one of them emptied a tin of beans in there.
I cant eat off of a plate with baked beans on there.0 - Sponsored links:
