Re: Desserts from your childhood
I had a whole facebook conversation about Rice pudding only last week having found it for sale here (The proper ambrosia one)
Hot or Cold is fine but if its hot you must add Jam and if its cold you must eat from the tin.
Also bought an arctic roll and realised that they are actually shit.

Re: Desserts from your childhood
Hmmm.....
Smacking lips.
Apple or gooseberry crumble with custard. Madeira cake. Victoria sponge. Bakewell tart. Trifle. Fruit cake (no not that fruit cake but a tea cake studded with berries, although I love a proper boozy fruitcake or Dundee cake at Christmas). Barbados cream/yoghurt pudding. Chocolate mousse. Creme brulee. Bread and butter pudding. All homemade of course. Nothing prepackaged crossed the threshold of my ma's kitchen.
Then there are the American cakes. Fluffy yellow layer cake with chocolate icing. Coconut layer cake. Chocolate layer cake. And American pies. Apple. Blueberry. Sour cherry. Peach. My American grandma could outbake Marion Berry. And American ice cream. Homemade American ice cream....hmmm...smacking lips....hmmm. Better than sex.
It's a wonder we were never fat
