Not that keen on Roly Poly or other steamed puddings. |

I always loved the slimy bit but can't replicate it in the steamer. |

i think mum would tear up old pillow cases or sheets to make pudding cloths once they had outgrown their use on the beds. |

I use one of my daughters old nappies (after having boiled & boiled it) for my steam puddings. |

Yep mum did that too and dad would mend our shoes. would be sent to the local cobbler to buy a piece of leather suitable for ether ladies or gents shoes and dad would used a snobbing foot and take off the old sole and put the new piece of leather on it and cut around the sole to fit it , he used something called heel bole ?? in the right colour to melt around the leather to match the shoe colour . he would do the heels too with maybe quarter segs on the outside of the heel wear. |

Not for me, I'm afraid, though I've only got experience of school dinner ones - grey and heavy, with weird tasting lumpy custard (shudders......) |

Used to love my Mums steamed puddings, jam rolypoly, and one with bacon. I actually did like bread and milk too Shirley (I was a war baby too). I also liked baked suet puddings and have made those myself. baked in the oven and eaten l;ike yorkshire pudding with lamb. Oh I like cream, custard or ice cream with bread and butter pudding. (peasant!) |
