also what the heck was that stuff they dolloped up as another school dinner pudding ..Semolina ....sodding wall paper paste ........
But the rest of your Sunday dinner sounds great
My bread and butter pudding doesn't resemble the stuff we were given at school...and if you don't believe me check out the pic...it isn't all stodge, but lovely vine fruit, cherries, apricots and delicious creamy baked custard.
