in a spot of bovver
trying to cook old fashioned tapioca pud just like they did in England long time ago when you were little-and the damn things getting out of control. I only put half the packet in -there were no cooking instructions, but i keep needing to add water and now theres so much it would feed a family of 5 for a month
How do I cook this stuff anyway?

OOps...try milk instead of water - half a packet - I think you only need about 50g!!

oooh dear at least now I know why its called frogs eyes pudding
cheers for the link.
I i recall sitting at my mums kitchen table and reading the cookery books that belonged to her granny. Weird stuff like nursey puddings, charlottes, jellies with flowers in them, black pudding....
Look at aussie food and see how enriched it has become due to people migrating. Their are truffles grown in tassie, french style goats cheeses in the blue mountains, nsw....all of us bring something unique to Oz,
its a lovely thing to see.
Food is a great way to feel less homesick-ask any aussie and they will invariably have their jar of 'comfort' vegemite stashed somewhere.
What will you all bring?

Amazulu

The ability to braai (barbecue) properly. Aussies & poms are useless at it, have not got a clue. South Africans are the world master champions at it. All bow to the braai masters & see how it's done properly.

Oh, and we'll bring our boerwors (farmers sausage), better than anything that you can get in Australia, I won't even mention the UK ......

Some of my best mates are saffas so I wont argue that point.
Ive never had a real braai. Do you wrap stuff in leaves then?

Best sausages we ever had were from the Polish butcher in the Adelaide central market.
