Rice pudding was always on Monday which was wash day. Cold beef and chips if I remember right. I love rice pudding - thanks for the slow cooker recipe Annie0000, I'll give it a go. Does it have the wonderful thick brown skin on it when its done like that? Sorry you don't like it LoftyLottie. I go out with a group once a month, all of a 'certain' age, and older. When rice pudding's on the menu we all have it. Once, however, it was made with long grain rice and NO sugar yuck!!

[joggerjayne]

Monday was wash day ????

=0o

I've just eaten a tin of microwaved tapioca ... OMG ... yum !

[LoftyLottie]

Hellywelly, I am in that certain age group!!

[hellywelly4]

Yes, washing was always done on a Monday and put out on the line. We had a mangle in the garage which I was good at using. (They won't know what a mangle is, Loftylottie!). I remember my mother having an iron that she used to heat up on the coal fire (which she made every day).
Anyone for a history lesson!!!

[joggerjayne]

Oh, THAT sort of washing.

I thought you meant ... you only had a wash on a Monday.

=0/

sorry

Washing clothes ... mmm ... I guess the housemistress did that ...

... we were too busy eating milky puddings, LOL.

[wendilla]

Hellywelly I tell my daugher about these things and the answer I get is Well I suppose these were the good old days you telling me about again. Good grief kids now would have a fit if they had to do what we had to do in the GOOD OLD DAYS.

We never had much money when I was a child but we always had a pudding with dinner. Lovely rice with skin, bread and butter pudding, treacle sponge, jam rolypoly, apple crumble....mmmmm.

I never talk to anyone about 'the good old days' because they weren't.

[jack daniels]

Hi scotman, I bought it in Tesco, they have a 2 for £1,00 offer so went for it.
My mum always uses ordinary rice for rice pudding but added evapourated milk to it for that extra creamy taste - yum.
I hate the smell of - oh my stomachs churning at the thought of it - hot milk - yuk.
I don't like ovaltine either but do like egg custard tart - again bought ones.
I too love bread & butter pudding with apricot jam and sometimes I make it using brioche.
I like sponge pudding with any jam/treacle. I also do a really nice pineapple upside down cake
I always looked forward to pudding in school!

Thanks for that. No Tesco near me but I will look out for it elsewhere.

[joggerjayne]

No Tesco nearby ?

Where do you live, Scotman ??

EVERYWHERE has a nearby Tesco, surely ?

I live in Edinburgh. Just happen to be in a Tesco-free zone. I have Spar, Scotmid Co-op, Sainsbury's but Tesco it quite far away.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, Edinburgh ... nice ! (apparently)

I'd like to go there (but it's awfully remote).

Maybe in the summer.

[ethandron]

oh JJ, you'd love edinburgh, just your sort of place. they have some posh shops and restaurants which you'd like ;) it's a really nice city, treat yourself to a week-end there.
