Part of the reason that Ameicans don't like runny is that the eggs overall are not as good quality. Eggs like many farm products in America are intensively produced, unfortunately your sheep cows and pigs very rarely see fields, and your eggs are mostly battery produced. It's a very different production model. Sticky toffee pudding is a relatively new product maybe the last 30 years, you are right about Christmas pudding it is someting you need to have eaten from childhood. I make cheese scones at least once a fortnight, getting very near being my favourite food. Just a little warning be careful, with Piccalilli .

@MrsHoulsby Ай бұрын

No, I am prejudiced against runny eggs because it's a raw animal product. We also pasturize our milk. I might try runny eggs. But, it's going to have to take some bravery on my part.

@jennetscarborough5145 2 ай бұрын

Next time you try Marmite, mix together the Marmite and plenty of softened butter before spreading, as it helps to get it thinner and more even. Then I recommend that you top it with sliced tomato, this adds some sweetness and moisture to balance out the saltiness.

@stephenlee5929 2 ай бұрын

If you were looking to try more marmite options, using it on hot buttered crumpets can be recommended, as always a very thin layer. If you were looking for alternatives to sticky toffee puddings, there are other sponge puddings, Treacle, golden syrup, Lemon, Raspberry, chocolate and others, they tend not to be as heavy as sticky toffee, generally I would suggest they benefit from cream or custard or maybe ice cream. As you like Profiteroles you might also like Eclairs, available in most bakeries and supermarkets, they are normally chocolate covered but can be caramel and other toppings, worth trying.

@obijon7441 2 ай бұрын

Good call on the Chocolate Éclairs, they're just elongated Profiteroles, or rather a Profiterole is just a miniature spherical Chocolate Éclair. The choux pastry is identical in all but the shape.

Still to try: - Golden Syrup - by itself on a spoon; on buttered toast; on buttered crumpets; in plain yogurt. In a syrup tart or sponge syrup pudding. Essential ingredient of proper flapjacks (with condensed milk). - Sausage roll (Greggsl - Pork pie ( good pastry) or gala pie - Custard - the British alternative as a dessert topping / accompaniment. Where Americans would have ice cream with apple pie, syrup sponge or cake, we'll have custard. - Marmite #2 - next time butter the toast. Add a thick layer of crunchy peanut butter. Take a small amount of Marmite & start to spread it - it won't spread & you'll end up with Marmitey peanut butter. Ace!

Malt vinegar on chips is disgusting as are wine, sherry, and cider vinegars. On anything from the chippy it *HAS* to be chip shop vinegar AKA non-brewed condiment, Which by the way is made from by-products of oil refining (the ethane fraction is converted to acetic acid, which is standard vinegar acid) and is the only acceptable vinegar for fish and chips. (Apart from balsamic vinegar which is the only substitute for non-brewed condiment chip shop vinegar.)

Sticky and Christmas pudding should be served as a small portion with lashings of hot custard. Pasties are, for us, a quick no prep lunch. Break open the crust and fill with hot gravy, then pour a moat of gravy around the pasty. Rhubarb - as kids we were given a stick of rhubarb and a paper cone containing sugar - dip and bite until it has all gone. There is no correct way to serve Yorkshire pud. As a starter with either lemon juice, or gravy, with the main course with gravy, as a pudding with honey poured into the centre. Some older Yorkshire families served Yorkshire pud with each course as an inexpensive fill-you-up. Cooked in a big baking tray with sausages in the batter - 'toad in the hole' - delicious.

Lots of people in the UK don't like Christmas pudding. We always have options like Banoffee pie. Easy to make at home. Boil a can (not opened) of Condensed Milk in a saucepan of water for 3 hours, when cooled spread it a over a Biscuit (like a cheese cake), top it with sliced bananas and covered with proper whipped cream (not aerosol cream)......

I would say I quit like Christmas Pudding- but I do have a small amount - any more is overkill. In our family we serve Christmas pudding with almond blancmange, which is a perfect contrast with its smooth clean fresh taste against the heavy richness of the pudding. Fellow Brits- do not knock the almond blancmange unless you've tried it (or absolutely hate almonds!). My Mum thought it was mad when she married into the family- but having tried it was an instant convert!

The scones you remember from America look like griddle scones. The old London Cordon Bleu cookery school cookbooks (baking 1) calls the afternoon tea style scones "soda scones", but has several other types which are normally cooked on a griddle (which for some reason they call a girdle) in wedges. One or two seem to be types of small pancake.

@Poliss95 2 ай бұрын

@AutoReport1 We call it a girdle in the north east of England. One source says 'A girdle is a round, flat, cast iron baking stone that you use to cook baked goods over a flame. In my household one of these has always been called a girdle, while a ‘griddle’ is a ridged pan on which you would cook a steak.'

Christmas pudding in an acquired taste, although I will say it should be eaten swimming in custard or single cream, think of it like a bowl of cereal, pudding = cereal & cream/custard = milk, then you have the right mix 😂 The pudding is supposed to break down a little in the custard/cream, this is why it is dense, 'back in the day' cream was a lot easier to come by and cheaper than the fruits ect. in the pudding, so everyone would get a small amount, add cream and it would break up a bit, increasing the portion making it like a warm, creamy, fruity, cakey, yogurt type dessert. and makes a little luxury back then go a long way. Its now tradition, although I personally love steamed puddings and fruit cakes so I'm a fan.

To die for and you probably will .... Christmas pud and brandy butter. My wife used to make her own CP but used a third of the treacle this made it more toffeey and fruity tasting. The same with Christmas cake where she doubled the sultanas - soaking them in cheap sherry for half an hour beforehand.

As far as eggs go, I love the yolk runny and dip my toast in it. Always disappointed if I accidentally overcook my eggs. The crumpets look like English muffins. Are they the same or different?

Christmas puddings are very variable and can be goregous with brandy butter/custard, but you sound as though you don't like dried fruit which does make liking it a challenge, nonetheless, I would suggest you seek out a really good quality christmas pudding which is MOIST, combine with brandy custard, and you will have a really enjoyable and seasonal experience. And your dislike of scones with dried fruit is sacrilege, scones have to have raisins or sultanas in them to be proper scones. You have a dried fruit problem, I think.
