Re: wot treats.

Never liked pobbies - thought they were yucky. We used to have mashed potato with eggs beaten into it, we called it "Brookin" - luscious, it was.

Does anyone remember barley pudding? It was made with barley kernels, and tasted absolutely wonderful - like rice pudding but richer and creamier. If anyone knows where I can get barley kernels and has a recipe, I would be so grateful.

And can you remember how long it took to spend 3d at the sweetshop?......

Re: wot treats.

Glad I found this - no one I know has ever heard of "pobbies". My mother used to make beef stew when I was little and she would always say, "do you want pobbies"? By this she meant did I want a lot of bread mushed up in it - I always said yes - mmmmmmmmm delicious!!

Gosh, reminded me of cheese, soaked in milk in a small pie tin (not deep one) ..just put under grill and eat with toast, loved this, sometimes egg was dropped in. Of course, was cooking cheese .. can you get this now, perhaps under another name ? lovely and stringy as you ate it .. :D
