Cooking like a Sailor- Jam Roly Poly

Jam roly-poly, shirt-sleeve pudding, dead man's arm or dead man's leg is a traditional British pudding that was probably invented in the early 19th century. This pudding is actually just rolled out and filled with delicious strawberry, raspberry or apricot jam and was always a little highlight on the messtable or in the wardroom or even in the great cabin.

But let's get to the recipe. You need: 1/2 pound suet, finely grated 4 cups flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt ice water 12 ounces (350 gr.) jam

Mix the suet, flour sugar and salt in a large bowl. Work in 1-2 tablespoons ice water. Continue gradually adding ice water until you have a stiff paste. Work it with your hands until it forms a ball. Turn it out onto a well floured board. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 5 min.

Knead the dough until it is shiny and elastic, cover again, let rest another 5 min, then knead again for 1-2 min. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1cm. thick. Spread the jam evenly over the dough, leaving a jamless border about 2,5 cm wide to allow for oozing as the pudding is rolled. Moisten three of the edges with water. Starting at the fourth edge, roll up the pudding, sealing the edges as you go. Seal the final edge to the pudding by pinching the dough together with your fingers to form a seam.

Wrap the pudding tightly in a well floured cloth. Tie securely at both ends and in the middle. Immerse the pudding in a pot with boiling water and cook for 2 1/2 hours, replenishing the water as necessary.

Serve hot with Custard Sauce and enjoy it.

DEXTER SEASON THREE SENTENCE STARTERS (PART ONE)

Lines taken from s03e01 - s03-e08 of the show Dexter. Feel free to change pronouns or edit in any way to better fit your needs. Here is part two.

❛ Everything's falling into place for the first time in my life. ❜

❛ Ay, ay, come here! Don't walk away all "fuck you" on me! ❜

❛ I guess your dick can suck itself from now on! ❜

❛ You don't get to blow me off and still ask questions. ❜

❛ Just hold me till you have to go. ❜

❛ If you need something for that temper I've got a man down the street with some really mellow weed that can take that edge right off. ❜

❛ Blood never lies. ❜

❛ Look on the bright side: Now that you've given up men, booze and cigarettes, running your mouth is the only bad habit you have left. ❜

❛ I'm a model of fucking perfection. ❜

❛ You certainly did not suffer from the tragedy of perfection. ❜

❛ All I want is chocolate pudding, and you - not necessarily in that order. ❜

❛ Kind of a cunt, aren't you? ❜

❛ You should stay. Grab a drink and work some of that massive tension out on the dance floor. ❜

❛ Maybe you should be a little less subtle in the future. ❜

❛ Some people just shouldn't have kids, you know? ❜

❛ The leaders of tomorrow. Their parents must be proud. ❜

❛ I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but being a mother was never one of them. ❜

❛ This child is happening. But your role in its life is entirely up to you. ❜

❛ Just when you think you've answered all the questions, another one smacks you in the face. ❜

❛ Life is just like that. Which is why I prefer death. ❜

❛ I didn't know what to do. I fought back. The knife ended up in his neck. ❜

❛ There's a lot more cannibalism in this country than any of you realize. ❜

❛ A baby? A motherfucking roly-poly, chubby-cheeked shit-machine? Are you kidding me? ❜

❛ I don't know what's more complicated, having a father or being one. ❜

❛ Showing up late at night like this, is it creepy, or just what friends do? ❜

❛ Having a conversation with you can be dangerous to one's health. ❜

❛ This is absolutely, without a doubt, the worst moment of my life. ❜

❛ I could probably kill her before anyone realized what happened. ❜

❛ I'm sorry. I just don't want to hurt you. ❜

❛ You got a lot of potential in you. Sometimes I think that you are the only one who doesn't know that. ❜

❛ People don't get married because it makes sense. ❜

❛ How do you show someone real love when you don't even know what it feels like? ❜

❛ I like the sound of the quid. What's the pro quo? ❜

❛ I know that trust doesn't come too easy to you. ❜

❛ My life has always felt like... an unanswered question. ❜

❛ You're what makes me real. ❜

❛ There are many ways to stop the heart. Electric shock. Bad diet. Sever the aorta - my personal favorite. ❜

❛ Your life is gonna change forever. ❜

❛ Every man needs his privacy. Some more than others. ❜

❛ Right on time. You're getting pretty good at this secret meeting stuff. ❜

❛ I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to do my job. ❜

❛ Thank the baby fucking Jesus. ❜

❛ Maybe I'm realizing no one around here is my friend. ❜

❛ The only time you people even acknowledge me is when you want something. ❜

❛ "No" doesn't really work in a relationship. "Can we talk about it?" is a little more productive. ❜

❛ I can't just drop everything at the last minute because you want me to. ❜

❛ That's not opinion. That's science. And science is one cold-hearted bitch with a 14-inch strap-on. ❜

❛ You think you and I are so different, don't you? ❜

❛ I'm nothing like you. ❜

❛ I'm here now. And I'm not going anywhere. ❜

❛ You can't make me feel any worse than I already do. ❜

❛ You don't have to lie to me. Don't you understand? I see who you are. ❜

❛ You have nothing to explain to me. Nothing to apologize for. Ever. ❜

❛ I'm with you. I'm behind you. And I respect you. ❜

❛ What did it feel like to, uh... take him out, hmm? To end his life. ❜

❛ Together, we can make a difference. ❜

❛ He's seen me with blood on my hands and hasn't blinked. ❜

❛ Every time you let someone get close, it ends badly. ❜

❛ Can you imagine the shitstorm this is gonna create if I'm wrong? ❜

❛ Aw. You do care about me. ❜

❛ This asshole doesn't deserve to breathe, okay? ❜

❛ That's beyond dangerous. That's crazy! ❜

❛ We both have too much to lose. We should quit while we're ahead. ❜

❛ Can I throw something at you that might sound a little crazy? ❜

❛ Can't ignore something just cause it's messy. ❜

❛ What the fuck makes you think I'm suddenly willing to play now? ❜

❛ Hard to believe even you would sink that low. ❜

❛ Be careful what you think you know about someone. You're probably wrong. ❜

❛ We're living in crucial times, crucial times that demand extraordinary measures. ❜

❛ If you're gonna bail out of this, now would be a good time. ❜

❛ Mark my words, he'll give you up in a heartbeat to save his own ass. ❜

❛ We only see two things in people... what we wanna see and what they wanna show us. ❜

❛ Never underestimate the capacity of other people to let you down. ❜

❛ You can make this stop right now... if you tell me where he is. ❜

❛ You scared the fuckmother out of me. ❜

❛ You can't imagine how much I've been looking forward to this. ❜

❛ Death will be a mercy. ❜

❛ You stay the hell away from me! ❜

❛ It is kind of illegal. ❜

❛ So what I'm about to ask you is...the most terrible thing anyone could– ❜

❛ What's so important you had to see me at the ass-crack of dawn? ❜

❛ Am I being set up? ❜

❛ Just shoot me if I ever get like that. ❜

❛ Hand-holding. So simple. So intimate. So...uncomfortable. ❜

❛ I'm so sorry for putting you in that horrible position. ❜

❛ Asking you to violate your conscience was one of the worst things I've ever done. ❜

❛ I had a high opinion of you. Guess I was wrong. ❜

❛ Now he can't even be civil in front of company. ❜

❛ I never should have said anything. ❜

❛ I've never been great at conflict resolution. Not without a blade and several rolls of plastic wrap. ❜

❛ How much caffeine have you had? ❜

❛ That conscience I don't have? It's been eating away at me. ❜

❛ Only an idiot would ask for a meeting here. ❜

❛ I am not good at this. Letting people help me. ❜

❛ We're not gonna man-hug, are we? ❜

❛ I'm doing a good thing, aren't I? Then why does it feel so bad? ❜

❛ It's said that everything is connected to everything. The butterfly effect. ❜

❛ I don't want you to kill him. I wanna do it. ❜

❛ Last time I got into your car, your radio was tuned to marching music. ❜

❛ Is this the beginning of a whole new level of friendship? Is it the end of life as I know it? ❜

❛ Relationships are complicated. ❜

❛ Number one rule of the code is "don't get caught". ❜

❛ Is it a mix-up, or is [name] fucking with me? ❜

❛ I just heard a love song on the radio that reminded me of you. And it made me really angry. ❜

❛ You say anything more about my brother and I will kick your fucking nuts down your throat. ❜

❛ Jesus Christ, do you know what kind of a bonehead mistake that is? ❜

❛ You can stop this right now. Call it off. ❜

❛ You don't get to have friends. Nothing good can come out of this. ❜

❛ We can't exactly load up the cart with axes and machetes, now can we? ❜

❛ You ever drop a quart of milk? Watch it spread over the whole kitchen floor, the mess it makes? There's six quarts of blood in the human body. This isn't gonna be pretty. ❜

❛ There's no shame in backing out. ❜

❛ My god, you just get dumber every day. How do you survive in this world? ❜

❛ Yeah, of course, I'm making excuses. Don't you? I mean, how else do you sleep at night? ❜

❛ You never should have asked me to help you. ❜

❛ That was the first time in my life that I've ever felt...powerful…like I was in control of ❜ something. And ever since then, I've been trying to get that feeling back again. ❜

❛ So when you talk to me about...the darkness inside of you...I understand. I really do. ❜

❛ Thank you for this. For letting me in. For showing me the way. ❜

❛ You've set something in motion here. ❜

❛ It's like I have this monster living inside of me, and I don't know how to control it. ❜

Can you sniff a smell away?

Asking for a friend.

This article https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/68786/can-you-smell-all-smell-out-something suggests it's not going to work, but my friend is getting a bit desperate and running out of joss sticks. Yesterday was nice and sunny and the slurry was drying out; then it rained overnight, producing rehydrated wet smelly slurry again. The dog is too scared to go outside because her poo-corner is enveloped in threatening biological smells and she's getting nervously constipated wondering where all the big stinky animals are hiding.

What my friend is wondering is, maybe we could invite lots of townies and tourists to come and smell our fresh, healthy country air for us till they've sniffed up all the bad bits? Or maybe we could bottle the air and sell it on eBay as an invigorating countryside experience, in a nice Goopy sort of bottle labelled "This Smells Like My Bedroom"? Or we could condense it, bottle it and send it to the Ukraine to chuck at Russian tanks and dinner ladies?

Did you see the DM thing about dinner ladies? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11130835/Dont-call-dinnerladies-Bosses-Devon-County-Council-say-term-implies-gender-ownership.html

Dinner Ladies? Dinner Servers? Dinner Supervisors?

Rename them Dinner Wardens and be done with it.

All the dinner ladies I remember from school were vicious. They'd hit you over the head with a spoon for putting your elbows on the table. They'd make you stand in the corner till your dinner went cold because you dropped your fork on the floor. They'd force you to drink your milk, even though the milk had been sitting out in the sun for several hours and was nasty, and then they'd smack you for vomiting. They'd force you to eat frogspawn, and semolina, and godawful roly-poly pudding and congealed custard with skin an inch thick. We had a school garden where we schoolkids grew a lot of our own veg - I swear to God, the dinner ladies sold it on the black market and bought us tins of Czechoslovakian cabbage with chicken feet in it.

Strange how nasty smells cause you to remember little things like school dinners.

Anyway, by way of experiment, I want everyone to stand outside at 6pm today and inhale deeply. Shift the air around a bit for me. Sharing is caring, right? You all inhale two or three deep breaths each, and that's two or three breaths of healthy country living that I won't have to smell.

Did I say I? I meant my friend.

TohrGBBO 1.4 Showstopper - Crumble, bread, and suet puddings, here represented by apple crumble, apple charlotte, and jam roly-poly, respectively

My roly-poly does not resemble how Ms. Potter led me to believe

The charlotte worked way better than I expected just wrapping buttered bread around a bowl to. If my wrapping was a little better, I could've put some of the apple's sauce in and made the filling a bit more cohesive

Also my roly-poly is neither roly nor poly shhh

Take aways from pudding week:

-Steamed puddings on the stove in my sealable bowl are good

-Steamed puddings in the oven wrapped in paper and foil are... not good (had to bake the roly-poly a while after the given steaming time)

-Shortening may be the optimal suet sub but butter works fine

#tohrgbbo #tohr projects #twitter xpost #original post date: Nov 17 2022 #me an American: this cannot possibly work #pudding Brits have been cooking for ages: works

Playinf goose two lines medicineon mymind

Not only would I have my own special turkey-stuffing recipe, I would make my own cranberry sauce. And a big centrepiece with corn and little pumpkins and autumnal harvesty stuff featured and a tablecloth with a turkey-featuring design on it. (No, feh, I don't like Halloween.) I would have little pilgrim salt and pepper shakers that I only used on Thanksgiving. Non-sectarian! Fully inclusive! 4 day long weekend! Crazy good food! And it' all about gratitude and giving thanks! (Duh.) I would carve pumpkins- no wait, that's Halloween. I actually feel a bit cheated that we don't have Thanksgiving in Australia, because that's the festival I really envy. As it is, you can imagine what Pesach and Rosh Hashanah and Succot look like at my place (but they go on FOREVER and at the end of a month of feasting and fasting and fressing, I feel like I'm going to explode, like Mr Creosote.)( WARNING: if you don't know who Mr Creosote is, don't hit the link. I would have a special set of table linen and crockery that I only used for this purpose, decorated with holly and ice skaters and snow and reindeers and all that Northern Hemisphere stuff. If I could arrange it, he would come with a sled and reindeer. I would hire a roly-poly Santa with a real beard to come and give presents to all the kids at the big family lunch. It looks like such fun! You don't have to spring-clean your house with a toothbrush, you don't have to build a little structure to eat your meals in, it doesn't go on for 8 days of fressing, just a couple of days. And then the menfolk will be enjoying a well-earned ale and horsing around, wrestling and falling about with laughter.wait, this fantasy has gone off track a little. And seeing that I wouldn't be Jewish, I would have a husband who could rig all this up himself, (and not have to call a non-Jew to come and do it) with the help of our fine strapping sons, all wearing plaid shirts and work jeans and boots, climbing on ladders with insouciance and laughing heartily while festooning the roof with miles of LED lights. I would put up a whole Nativity sound and light show in LED lights on my front lawn. I would have a big box of heirloom tchotchkes and baubles including a soppy angel to decorate the huge real pine tree. Put up stockings and leave a nip of whiskey for Santa and have a tree-decorating for all the family. (Is that Xmas or Easter? Or both? I would do it for both.) I would do everything. Or maybe a goose, instead of a turkey, because that's actually MORE traditional. I would wear reindeer antlers and dangly tinsel earrings while preparing the massive turkey and roast veggies and aller chazerai, prawns and a big ham, and a pudding (with suet if I could get it, but butter if not, and I would steam it for hours) and brandy sauce. If it was me, I would go to Carols by Candlelight. It is! I would do a superb Xmas family dinner, lunch, everything. There's the kitschy tchotchkes and table decor there's The Tree, which is- let's face this- a thing of beauty. There's just something in the air, along with all the carols wafting around. Hello! Have you heard of Shabbos? I do this every week! And not just twelve! And not just one meal, often Friday night AND Shabbos lunch! Wow! And I laugh when I hear the Non-Jews stressing over inviting family over for Xmas lunch or whatever ('How many are you having?' '12.' 'WHAT! TWELVE PEOPLE! How on Earth will you cope!!?). Not that I'm looking for more things to cook! (although I do a mean Christmas cake Rich Fruit Cake in November which sits in the fridge getting doused with alcohol for our. This time of year, when I venture into the shop or supermarket or malls, I see all the tinsel and hear the music, and I see all the puddings, panettone, stollen, big weighty fruitcakes and I have a tiny bit of Xmas Envy. And they have all taken it upon themselves after being incited by radical Muslim clerics and interpretations of Koranic verses, to attack infidels wherever and whenever they encounter them, Jews, Christians, in Israel and abroad. No cigars for guessing the answer- they are all Muslims. There was one in the Canadian parliament, and 2 who murdered Lee Rigby in the streets of Manchester, and the shrink who shot up Fort Hood and killed 14 US Army personnel - he was a lone wolf too, despite evidence in his email account where he was pledging jihad against the infidel- and there was the plot to randomly behead an infidel in Sydney which was thwarted, and the Arabs who ran down people waiting at light rail stops and bus stops in several incidents in Israel, and the 2 who murdered 4 rabbis at prayer in Har Nof in Jerusalem, leaving 14 fatherless children, and all of these lone wolves - so many that I don't know if the word 'lone' really applies- have one thing in common. Well, all I can say is that there seems to be a lot of these 'lone wolves' about.

Can i have the gorillaz bandmates with a s/o who runs a bakery and mostly brings treats for them

phew, this feels like my longest request to date. had fun with it though because this prompt was just too cute - plus i loved thinking about what kind of things each member would like! thank you for requesting and i hope you enjoy!

requests | rules | masterlist

pairing: Gorillaz - bandmates x baker!gn!reader - s/o running a bakery hc's

warnings: food mentions

🎱Stuart "2-D/Stu" Pot🎱

- in complete awe of the fact you own a bakery!

- the smells of the cakes and breads bring back fond memories of his dad's funfair 🥺

- loves to get a freshly made jam doughnut when he stops by in the mornings 💗

- your bakery is definitely the first place he goes whenever the band returns from a tour

- adores how you always have a slice of butterscotch pie waiting, no question about it

- bonus if you make it with a sweet peppermint tea on the side!

- likes to watch you work whenever he has free time, sometimes even helping you take orders

- especially prefers to just watch you work if you're making bread or icing a cake

- he just finds it relaxing watching you knead bread or make little intricate flower designs

- wants you to teach him how to do that too!!

- flour might end up getting all over your kitchen though, so be careful-

- stuart just really loves seeing you completely in your element, he's so proud to have such a talented s/o!! 💗

🎸Murdoc Niccals🎸

- appreciates your talent in the kitchen!

- much like music, baking is an art form - so he understands your love for it

- doesn't have much of a sweet tooth but he'll occasionally pop by for a lemon tart or a jam roly-poly

- his favorite thing is when it's holiday season and you make Christmas pudding!!

- especially with a hearty spread of brandy butter-

- he'll let you know that he thinks your recipe for it is to die for, ugh 💗

- don't be surprised though if you catch him having the brandy butter all on its own

- occasionally sits and works on songs at one of the corner-tables with a mug of green tea on the more quiet working days in the bakery

- is more content with just letting you do your own thing when it comes to baking

- he'd probably end up doing more harm than good in the kitchen anyway, skdnskdb-

- murdoc wouldn't be the most obvious about it but he's definitely supportive of you

- not everyone can bake and you're an absolute master at it! what's not to love? 💗

🥁Russel Hobbs🥁

- most would think he was indifferent about you owning a bakery if it wasn't for the fact he spent almost all his free time there

- having a quick snack? taking a nap in a corner booth? simply watching you bustle around?

- russel loves being around your bakery no matter what 💗

- yet another one without much of a sweet tooth, he mostly sticks to things like pretzels or bread rolls with a chamomile tea

- it's always a pleasant surprise when you make a fresh batch of brownies though, he appreciates it!!

- don't get me wrong, russel likes his bandmates

- but spending time in your bakery compared to kong studios is something that helps relax him immensely

- is very good at helping pick out music that matches the atmosphere if you have overhead speakers

- would be happy to oblige if you need any help in the kitchen

- you'd be surprised how good he is at icing decoration!

- good music, good food and a good atmosphere all around is all russel needs to unwind from stress and your bakery is the perfect place to do all that 💗

🐱Noodle🐱

- such a HUGE fan of your bakery!

- takes instagram-worthy shots of cakes in the displays or food she orders and constantly promotes your business!!

- will always insist it’s your amazing baking that keeps customers coming if you try to thank her 💗

- constantly likes to change what she gets each time but frequently comes back to your signature blueberry cheesecake and a cup of black tea

- definitely wants to taste-test any new recipes you’re trying out, you can always count on her to give an honest opinion

- sometimes brings katsu along if the bakery is kinda like a cat-café

- is more often than not in the kitchen helping you bake anything and everything, she thinks it’s a nice bonding activity!

- occasionally makes a little challenge of seeing who can decorate an order of cupcakes faster/more intricately

- spoiler alert: she dubs you as the winner every time

- her favorite thing to do is teach you how to make certain japanese desserts if you’re up for it

- brags about you at any opportunity she can get, noodle thinks you're extremely talented and she wants your expertise to be acknowledged!! 💗

♠️Ace Copular♠️

- teases you for having what he dubs "a cutsey gig" but let's be honest, he loves it!

- wants to seem all tough and gets a plain bagel with a coffee

- i mean, it doesn't taste bad but it doesn't really do it for him

- bring him some strawberry pavlova and chocolate milk later and he'll absolutely melt

- brings the gang or band over to try some of your amazing cakes!!

- spends most of his time in the bakery flirting with you over the counter to try distract you

- is considerate to leave you be or even help with orders if it's a busy day though

- makes faux-complaints about helping out but he absolutely loves doing things together with you!

- will most definitely wear a frilly pink apron while and he'll wear it with pride, dammit!! 😤

- has tons of recipes from his nonna that he'd love to show you how to make 💗

- surprisingly good in the kitchen but don't tell anyone-

- has a massive sweet tooth so don't be surprised if he's swiping tastes of all the different goodies!

- isn't afraid to absolutely snap back at anyone who has anything mean to say about your baking skills

- ace is extremely supportive of your achievements you've made with getting your own bakery and is always there to lend a helping hand in any way he can whenever you need it 💗

enjoy what i write? consider showing a little bit of support! 💕

On March 8th 1936 The "Oor Wullie" cartoon strip first appeared in the "Sunday Post".

Jings , Crivven's, and Help ma boab!!! He's Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A'body's Wullie!

Yes 85 years ago publishers, DC Thompson introduced a four page "Fun Section" which included two comic strips written in Scots vernacular. Little did they know these would still be running more than eighty years later.

Oor Wullie, chronicles the adventures of a mischievous young boy in an unnamed town. Much speculation prevails as to where Wullie actually lives; some think it is Dundee where the Sunday Post was published; whilst others believe he lives in Glasgow because in 1938, the characters walked to the Empire Exhibition held in Bellahouston Park: later in 1988 the family again walk to and from the Glasgow Garden Festival. In a later episode he even cycles to Loch Lomond. But as the decades have rolled by it became clear Oor Wullie lived in the imaginary town of Auchenshoogle .

More controversy prevails as to what was Oor Wullie’s surname; some sources quote MacCallum whereas others cite, Russell. Wullie had an uncle Wattie Russell, a wartime private in one of the Scottish regiments. No one is quite sure however whether Wattie was related to Wullie's father's or came from his mother's side of the family.

Oor Wullie was created by Scottish comic writer and editor, Robert Duncan Low who wrote word sketches which Dudley Dexter Watkins illustrated. Low insisted the characters be based on real working class people and Watkins took Robert’s son, Ron for inspiration. The wee lad had innocently accompanied his father to work one day wearing dungarees and carrying a bucket of potatoes. Watkins added the famous spiky hair and Oor Wullie was born.

Our hero shares his home with his Ma and Pa, Harry the West Highland Terrier and Jeemy his pet moose. In the early days and for a short time he had a younger sibling (the bairn). The next door neighbour much later was Moaning Mildew (modelled on Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave). Our hero’s favourite food is mince and tatties and his Ma’s Roly-poly pudding. His three best friends are Fat Boab, Soapy Soutar and wee Eck and the gang meets in a caravan called Holly Rude. Wullie is the self-proclaimed leader a position which is frequently disputed by the others. The boys love to go fishing in the nearby burn (the Stoorie) or race their cairties (boogies) down Stoorie Brae.

The mischievous Wullie’s of old, loved to steal orchard apples and use P.C. Murdoch‘s helmet as target practice with his catty (sling shot). However what was seen as youthful high jinks in the 1930s might be considered anti-social vandalism today so as the decades passed his antics have become a lot tamer. Otherwise its business as usual and Wullie’s unrealistic get-rich-quick schemes lead to mischief and continue to give his long suffering parents and local constabulary humorous concern.

Come what may the strip always ends with Willie seated on his bucket procrastinating about the day’s events. Occasionally he rests on padding or cushions especially if he has had his erse skelped

This has been bugging me for a while, and I need to get it out of my system.

Pudding.

Specifically, pudding in ‘The Case Files Of Jeweler Richard’.

In the UK, pudding doesn’t refer to a specific type of dessert. It can be used interchangeably with ‘dessert’ to refer to any sweet food you eat after a main course. There are particular types of dessert that have ‘pudding’ as part of the name, like sponge pudding or suet pudding (heavy spongy cake-like foods). Treacle pudding with custard is a favourite of mine. Christmas pudding is vile and needs to be stopped. Rice pudding is good; tapioca pudding and semolina pudding are the work of the devil. Jam roly-poly pudding is a school dinner standard, Spotted Dick is also a pudding, and don’t ask me what clootie pudding is because I’m not Scottish. But we also have savoury puddings - Yorkshire pudding is made with a batter similar to pancakes but is baked in spitting-hot oil and rises up into a bowl-shape, and you eat it with a roast dinner (sometimes as a starter, with gravy), or you can fill it with stew. Black pudding is sausage made from blood and offal - definitely not a dessert. Steak and kidney pudding is like a pie with a heavy pastry, made in individual pudding tins and served inverted so the pie ‘lid’ is on the bottom.

When I started writing ‘The Way To A Man’s Heart’, I hadn’t then seen the episode in which Seigi actually made milk pudding. I’d googled ‘Japanese milk pudding’ and found recipes and pictures which looked more like blancmange, so that’s what I used as a basis for that fic. It wasn’t until I actually watched the vid of Uchida Yuuma making milk pudding that I realised what the dessert actually was - for a while I thought it was creme brulee, until I realised the darker stuff was like caramel.

Besides blancmange, I don’t think we really have that kind of pudding in the UK. We have stuff like Angel Delight, which is a pudding you buy as a packet-mix (you mix the powder with milk and whisk it), and I think maybe the off-brand versions might be called pudding?

There’s a YouTube video knocking around of Mob’s seiyuu (whose name escapes me right now) eating American milk-based foods, including chocolate pudding, and he talks about how sweet it is compared to Japanese puddings. And all of this makes me wonder, just a little, about the oddness of child-Richard getting so attached to what might actually be a fairly bland and basic dessert food compared to other dessert foods he would have been eating in the ‘90s. Given the option between a lightly vanilla-flavoured milk pudding and, say, a treacle pudding and custard or a Spotted Dick, it does seem strange for a kid to be gaga over the less sweet option.

Also, every time I hear someone say the word ‘pudding’ in an episode of JR (or in reference to it), wobbly milk goo is always the last thing that comes to my mind. Because words are weird, and I want to know how the Japanese language adopted the word ‘pudding’ to describe desserts that are definitely not English in origin.

endless list of favorites:

THE TALE OF SAMUEL WHISKERS, OR THE ROLY-POLY PUDDING (Beatrix Potter)

They went straight to the dough which was set to rise in a pan before the fire. They patted it with their little soft paws - "Shall we make dear little muffins?" said Mittens to Moppet.

english summer dessert culture is fuckin trash. wtf is a trifle. the only things that matter are cakes, pies and puddings. English food is not *good* and it's not *cuisine* it is designed to drag one's body thru the interminable winters and grey skies on this horrid little isle. the food is strictly for fuel. in this respect, the french win. I will say that their pastries are beautiful and delicate but sometimes when its grey you just want a fuckin jam roly poly not light flaky pastry. where is the stodge.

#it's my primitive yam brain #which makes me prefer the objectively inferior desserts of the UK #what can I say

Hands off the jam roly-poly: why banning puddings in school is a bad idea |

200 gms self raising flour. 100 gms suet. Mix together with about 8 tablespoons water to give a soft dough.

Flatten out with your hands using a little flour to stop it sticking, into a rectangle Spread with jam and roll up.

Either bake in the oven until crisp, or traditionally, wrap in greaseproof paper and steam in a steamer over a pan of simmering water. I forget for how long. An hour and a half should be ok. Longer is better than not enough.
