Had to look that up. Sounds yummy. Going to have to make a batch.

 

Thanks

[Alpo]

So that's different from American bread pudding? Mama used to make bread pudding all the time. A cheap dessert using stale bread.

So. how does your family make it?

I see raisins, so that's a good start.

Probably cinnamon, and bread (does stale bread hold together better?), but what liquid do you use? Any eggs?

OK, I'll let you tell me...

We had this for dessert so often when I was a kid (everyone did) and going to other folks homes there were always slight variances but they all tasted good

 

Our Grandkids always ask my wife to make it for them.

We still had these uncomfortable seats (with ink wells) in my primary school.

Ours were very similar, only with ornate cast iron scrollwork, screwed down to the wooden floor, and ours were singles instead of a side by side.

Inkwell, yep ... but our desktops were nowhere this nice. Ours had initials, names, gouges ...

About the same as Bread Pudding up here. Old fashioned, but delicious!

I'll show these to my wife.

She knows her way around the kitchen!

The recipes I checked are a lot different than the Bread Pudding recipes I grew up eating.

Edited March 13, 2024 by Sedalia Dave

I have no idea what recipe Mama used.

 

According to the internet, bread pudding is stale bread mixed with milk or cream, and egg, then baked. So - baked French toast.

 

While bread and butter pudding uses both raisins and spices. The recipes I've seen call for sultanas, which would be called golden raisins here in the states. Dried white grapes, instead of the dried red grapes that make normal raisins. But I remember Mama's having both raisins and cinnamon, so I guess she made a closer to bread and butter pudding.

[Sedalia Dave]

All of the homemade Bread Pudding I grew up eating did not have Raisins in it. Cinnamon yes, raisins no.

Your Mama wasn't raisin you right!       

(Just going for the play on words. I've met you, and I know you're a stand-up guy, despite shooting cap-and-ball pistols in competition!)

Did a sibling or you not like raisins, and so she left them out?

Moms will modify recipes to please their young'uns. 

 

My Mom always put raisins in mine.

Digger

An Australian soldier.

The term was applied during the First World War to Australian and New Zealand soldiers because so much of their time was spent digging trenches.

 

An earlier Australian sense of digger was ‘a miner digging for gold ’. Billy Hughes, prime minister during the First World War, was known as the Little Digger. First recorded in this sense 1916.

 

1918 Aussie: 2015 Daily Telegraph (Sydney) 26 January: Australia's special-forces troops .. dominate the military division of the 2015 Australia Day Honours. They include a major who planned an 'unprecedented operation' to capture a rogue Afghan sergeant who murdered three Australian diggers.

I see nothing genius about it. He apparently watched the Dukes of Hazzard.

 

A later episode. Enus had quit and gone to Los Angeles to have his own spin-off series. So Roscoe's new deputy was boss's nephew, or some such relation.

 

As part of their speed trap, this deputy had a hair dryer they had painted olive drab, and he would point that at out of state cars. Then pull them over and write them a speeding ticket. Didn't matter that they said they weren't speeding. He had his radar gun.
