Thread: Pudding

Probably not a pudding per se, but it was a sweet ending after a ham-salad roll. Don't even know what to call them, they were like a scone with cranberries in them, but with butter and honey they were delicious!

^ let me just check my a to z of Brittle food

A teacake in England is generally a light yeast-based sweet bun containing dried fruit, typically served toasted and buttered. In the U.S. teacakes can be cookies or small cakes. In Sweden, they are soft, round, flat wheat breads made with milk and a little sugar, and used to make buttered ham or cheese sandwiches

^With cranberries though? They grow in places with sunshine (like tea) so there's fuck-all chance of you lot having always had ready access to them, not that this minor detail will stop you claiming them as classic brittle food

Not quite the case. There is a type of cranberry in UK although I don't believe they are farmed commercially:

They can be found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Yeah, it's a Cranberry Scone HW, we get loads down our way.


I'm not usually one to blow my own trumpet but I hit perfection tonight.

Strawberry cupcake with hot, home-made custard.



The perfect winter pudding.

A fruit scone, HW. Get a dollop of clotted cream on it and you'll be an honorary Brit.

Jamaican Ginger cake and Madagascan vanilla cold custard

^I had completely forgotten about Jamaican Ginger Cake

On the retro-pudding shopping list it goes.

This is awesome. I have rediscovered tinned rice pudding recently and now Jamaican Ginger Cake

Double trouble?

Managed to get back in the custard game at last although this is a very amateur blokes cold pouring custard effort...

Sprinkle bananas on your Pauls Pouring custard for added pudding healthiness...

This is addictively yum. Even more than chocolate ice cream on bananas.

What did that set you back?

(how much did you pay for it)

Interest now you mention it Dave, 20_25 years ago Aussie wine was a great buy for the price, then some of the new world and most of the French wine producers, outside the classic producers were struggling with older grapes and weaker (12ish %) wines. I have not touched an Aussie wine in 5 years now as European wines have stormed back in quality terms. 13.5 to 14.5% is now the norm but i find anything above 14% isnt my thing.

That one, the Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2019 in Mendip's photo is a bit less than BHT300 in it's Motherland, so curious to know what he paid for it.
