My son describes it as " the most boring pudding of all time " . Then again he has never had semolina or sago.

Holed up in France last summer during house renovations here, this became the (somewhat addictive) dessert of choice:
Creamy rice laden with real vanilla, and a bed of caramel à la crème caramel - delicious, and a world away from the stodgy tasteless ‘rice pudding’ I remember from 1960s childhood...."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Can you still get semolina?Comment

Yes, Tesco have it. Yuk!Comment

Semolina was a fairly frequent pudding when I was a child. It was just about tolerable with a large spoonful of home made jam stirred through. For some reason I found both the taste and texture unpleasant. These days I think semolina as flour is used more for baking, something not open to me now as it's wheat based.Comment

Definitely in its dry form - it is useful in adding a bit of crunch to shortbread for example.Originally posted by Alison View PostComment

Yes, making a semolina pudding from dry semolina is infinitely better than using tinned semolina, which you can get from Tesco (I think). It's a bit like the difference between proper rice-pudding and the tinned variety. I think Ambrosia call their tinned stuff 'Creamed Semolina'.Comment

It is possible to get salted caramel rice pudding in the UK, but the one time I had it, it managed to be both stodgy and sickly sweet.Originally posted by Caliban View PostHoled up in France last summer during house renovations here, this became the (somewhat addictive) dessert of choice:

"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
