Best bread and butter pudding ever
My mum makes the best bread and butter pudding ever, but it's not complete without custard, though my brother will only eat it with ice-cream. And my mum prefers cream, whipped of course. Still there's no getting past it, it is probably the best bread'n'butter pud in the world.
And so, it was with more than a little dubiousness that I read about the latest record braking foodstuff cooked up in the heart of England that's attempting to get into the Guinness book of records. Guess what? It's a gigantic bread and butter pudding.
Yes, the bods at Hovis cooked up the 5ft by 7ft monster desert using 1,000 slices of bread, 70 apples, 56 whole eggs and horror of horrors, semi-skimmed milk and low-fat margarine. My mum will hold her hands up in horror - that's not a bread and butter pudding - she will say.
I mean, whoever heard of a bread and low-fat marg pudding. Sorry, bakers at Hovis, but a healthy pud on a winter's day is not what we in the Hoot office want after our roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. We like our roast potatoes cooked in beef dripping, and our custard made with full-cream, full-fat, full calorie milk.
So, there.
