Help From A Scot Please......

[Mags22]

Got a quiz question no-one seems to have an answer to, so thought maybe another Scot could come up with an answer : answer is a pudding/dessert- part of an alternative chorus for John Browns Body - ( my dad used to sing JBs baby had a cold upon its chest so they rubbed her with camphorated oil!) it's a Scottish quiz, but I've never heard any more alternatives, Rack your brains or ask grannies! Thanks

Could it be Knickerbocker Glory?

I don't know the answer but is this of any help?

I recall someone suggested Ambrosia on another thread. May be worth a check

We used to sing "Sago,rice and tapioca....." to the tune of Glory glory hallelujah.

That was when I was at school 70+ years ago!The answer could be sago. rice or tapioca??

[Mags22]

That sounds more like it Quinie, the lady who sends me the quiz would be in that age group, bless you,thankyou

Hi,Mags22,glad I was able to help you.Had to laugh last night-my husband and I both sang sago,rice and tapioca but that was as far as we got.Phoned my friend today and she burst into song but,like us, couldn't remember any more lolIt's funny how you remember some things from years back. I'm going to try to find out more about this ditty-it's got me puzzled. Thank you for the BA.
