A quick and cheap way to make rice pudding that is almost as nice as home- made!

I buy a 15p tin of Morr***ns' "Savers" Rice Pudding. Put in a casserole dish. Add a dessert spoon of sugar (if like me you have a sweet tooth) butter and sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Do not cover.
Cook in a hot oven for about 20 minutes... OR UNTIL YOU HAVE GOLDEN BROWN SKIN ;-) :-D :-D

When we had an Aga, I regularly pulled the 'forgotten' rice pudding out the next morning.

It was all 'brown' :-(

I'm trying and trying to find something I don't like ................ as against doesn't like me

Dairy doesn't like me

Wine and all other alcohol doesn't like me .............. apart from 2 or 3 sips, so I can drink a toast at New Year



But I like all the stuff that you lot don't like :-)

I'm not keen on jellied eels, cockles and whelks, but have eaten. I just find them finicky!


............ I love mussels



oh ................ I know


tapioca pudding that we used to have at school dinners .......... we used to call it frog spawn :-D


but I did like sago pudding, which is very similar

Maggie in Win ~

I've been told I have diverticulitis (saw GP last week), but he didn't really give me much advice on how to deal with it.

I didn't know about beetroot...... anything else I should avoid?

I might start a thread on the icky subject. :-(

Almonds/almond icing. Dessicated coconut. Whitebait (never liked the little eyes peering up at me). Not keen on my greens. I will only eat lettuce if it is in a sandwich, seems to taste ok then. I will eat lightly cooked cabbage (mum always cooked it to a pulp), but not keen on it. I don't like cauliflower however it is cooked. Broccoli, silver beet have to be chopped up fine and cooked in with other veges and mince. Have not liked any of the alcoholic drinks/wines that people have insisted I try, but then I don't like ordinary fizzy drinks either.

Every man to his own taste, as Paddy said when he kissed the cow.

I forgot to mention turnip, both bits, the greens are bitter and the other bit is just horrible. One of the better parts of being a grown-up is not having to eat any part of one.

I have always loved tapioca but you just can't buy sago any more. Even the stuff they sell in Asian shops as pearl sago is tapioca.

Most of the stuff children don't like was my favourite. At school I would always eat somebody's butterbeans for them but they could always have my sausage or ice-cream.

Prunes and dates *squirms* :-S :-S

Vodka & Fresh Orange Juice, it's not the vodka or fresh orange juice that I don't like - it is the hangover the next morning I hate :-D

Sweetcorn.... i hate it , and i can't eat apple peel either, i give it to the dog who loves it.... :-D

Can't actually think of anything I really dislike enough not to eat.

Don't eat anything too hot/spicy but like mild spicy. Never fancied trying oysters but would cooked if they were served up (not raw though). Love all other shell fish. Like everything mentioned although carrots not a favourite.

Nuts :-D

Oh Dear.

I love nuts, and I would kill for shellfish!

I love curries, and make my own curry powder.

It's just that bl**dy raw celery :-|

PS I like rice puddings, but here we cannot buy short grain rice. We have to buy Arborio Rice which is very expensive :-0

I buy a big bag of long grain rice from Lidl and it makes a perfectly passable rice pudding.

Not as starchy as pudding rice so it doesn't stick together as well but it makes a skin!

Avocado :-0

Sharron, were you a civil servant? Posting that in triplicate ;-) :-D :-D :-D

cucumber,cannot have it anywhere near my food,i have to prepare my salad first,

strange but my brother is exactly the same as me.

I do buy a lot of rice.

OH always said he didn't like prunes because he hadn't liked them at school. Once he tried them recently he enjoyed them. He didn't like cucumber because I think he once had a bit and didn't like the peel so I gave him a piece with no peel. Yum yum, loves cucumber.

Fred's mate hated semolina because it was like wallpaper paste at school. Tried a bit at home and loved it.

oh yuck, thanks for reminding me Martynsue....... I can't stand cucumber, horrible stuff, not fond of radishes either.

Our salads are different...... HIS don't have avocado or peppers (capsicums) and mine don't have cucumbers.

The only time I buy turnips is when I'm making Cornish pasties. DH can tell if I forget... must be his Cornish blood. :-D
