Typical man, I was in World market today and Ds stood there with a can of ambrosia creamed rice pudding and begged like a puppy. Silly beggar. I didn't buy it.

Yes, Aborio rice is risotto rice. I must try that for rice pudding, too. I normally use regular medium grain rice. I can buy tapioca quite easily. Never found semolina, though - or the right grain for macaroni pudding.

Congratulations on the house David, hope all goes well with the survey..how exciting for you both. The gazundering sounds amazing, so in other words, anything can happen between the time your offer is accepted and the time contracts are exchanged?
We've been researching cars also, and the Honda Jazz, Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Astra all seemed to be highly recommended. Apparently, the value of cars drops more quickly in the UK than in Canada, so you get a better deal on a used car there. Don't forget you have to get an MOT there!
We went to Lidyl when we were there in September, great store, but it made me laugh when I saw the spelling, as when I first heard the name spoken, I thought it was "Little"
Good Luck with everything.

I find these comments ''Odd'' to say the least - in Morrisons Supermarket, and I guess others are the same, there are about ten kinds of Rice - including long Grain - the same as USA.-perfect for a rice pudding. if you want a macaroni pudding - just buy some macaroni, dontheturner

Well mummy - Now I am confused. Rissoto -- isn't that square pieces of pasta, filled with meat, looking like small ''cushions'' and served with a sweet & sour Sauce? - that's what Rissoto is in UK, (and in Thailand) - mostly served in italian restaurants, -unless made at home. dontheturner

May I suggest a separate pasta/rice thread?
