Rice pudding

... ah, frog spawn! That's something I've been trying to forget over the last sixty years or so...

It was the first thing I was reminded of when bubble wrap was introduced...

One of my sisters loved the skin on custard, which suited the rest of us.

Was that the Bird's stuff?

I can't imagine anyone liking the skin on that. Let it go cold - yuk! Chuck it out for the birds ... and possibly rats.

OTOH - the frog spawn stuff mentioned in some more recent posts - sorry - I like that also, and even semolina.

My sister and I used to fight over it. Definitely the best bit.

Cremola was delicious and was made from rice.

Yum!

... I was a contrarian from an early age. My ma recounted that very young, when Daphne Oxenford enquired "are you sitting comfortably?" I would say to the wireless "No!", and as she went on "Then I'll begin... " I would say "But I've just said No!"...

I did the same!

No, No, No! Aggghhhhhh!

... actually the tapioca, sago, semolina to which I was inured at Wiltshire schools in the 1950s and 1960s was a good preparation for the carbohydrates I had to cope with as a cadet VSO in West Africa in the early 1970s - yams [Dioscorea rotundata, Dioscorea esculenta], cassava [Manihot esculenta], taro [Colocasia esculenta]. Not much esculent about them. But at least that was at a college run by French Jesuits, so the wines were pretty decent...

We had tinned peaches with carnation evaporated milk the other day. I quite enjoyed it.

Did anyone have connie onnie butties? Hated them myself but sis loved them.

Always put a couple of crushed cardamom pods in these days.

Never heard of them before, but they are mentioned in this very interesting article about WW2, Liverpool and Much Wenlock - https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peo...a4392623.shtml

Do you still read Enid Blyton?

Not at the table!

What about cold peas?

Tiinned salmon. Jelly trifle. Sild on toast.

I think for some reason we had tinned peaches recently - probably because they were the only ones available. Way back in the dark ages we used to have tinned apricots too.

Older relatives used to have brawn, which I detested, together with tongue.

I was born and brought up in Liverpool but never evacuated. The butties were supposed to be a treat!
