Worst pudding ideas

rice pudding, and semolina.

last night, a tub of pouring cream with blueberries dropped in and a handfull of crushed nuts.

Black pudding and custard?

That actually sounds ok, you've got a balance of textures and flavours there with a bit of acidity from the fruit and yoghurt to cut through the the clag.

I find a lot of the "pub classic" desserts pretty tough. Bread and butter pudding, sticky toffee pudding etc.

I'm going to nominate bread and butter pudding as the worst. It's a waste of stale bread.

[s]Black pudding[/s] Sausages and custard?

Surely?

Jam enclosed in pastry, 'hard up tart'. I remember it well.

Pease

rice pudding, and semolina.

Both of those are lovely. Tapioca on the other hand...

I give you tinned apricot, merengue, chocolate sauce, topped with mango papaya and passion fruit yogurt

No need to make a (Latin American) song and dance about it

That actually sounds ok,

Yeah sounds, but the taste is something else... Apricots have that tinge to their flavour, meringue has that waftiness, the chocolate sauce, also, that thing about it - you know the chocolate sauce they use for icecream -  they've all got their special qualities which are nice enough on their own, but when combined with tropical yoghurt.

It's terrible pudding. I'd rather eat

Sausages and custard?

Guess I'm not the first dad to joke about that to their children then!

Jam enclosed in pastry, ‘hard up tart’. I remember it well.

I think that was a jam pig. There was also the cheese pig.

No.

Yorkshire.

How bloody dare you!

Then you haven't tasted a good one.

Anything involving the pink stringy gruesome vegetable that is rhubarb and especially that wobbly pink gunk that they used to serve with a sort of dry whipped cream swirl on top for school lunches in the 80's 🤮

Exception can be made for rhubarb and custard sweets.

None.

Shirley?

Wurst pudding

sticky toffee pudding etc.

i don’t think I’ve ever read past ‘sticky toffee pudding’ on a dessert menu.

for me the whole cheese board thing is baffling - not whether or not cheese is a nice thing to eat - just seems to be being offered at the wrong end of the meal. It would be a nice starter.

as our language constantly evolves it almost feels like ‘nominate’ in a sentence like this could  come to mean ‘eat with great enthusiasm’

Wurst pudding

Here in good old blighty I believe that is the delicacy we refer to as Toad in the Hole (or Frog in a Bog). 😁

Yorkshire.

Pudding for poor people.

semolina

Anything with passion fruit. If I wanted my mouth to taste of perfume for an hour I'd lick your mum's neck 😛

My immediate thought was "bread & butter", but only if my mother has made it. Her version is legendary, but for the worst reasons, so much so that my step-father has asked, very politely, that she never make it again. I agree with his decision.

Rice pudding can be made well and nice, but is something that can just turn into a stodgy, carb-tastic gloopy mess. Semolina and tapioca... No good reasons for them, ever. Seriously, why?

I occasionally wonder why it is so difficult to make a great rice pudding, ie like the one my father used to make. I think it's because no modern recipe would dare to use two tins of evaporated milk, plus extra sugar.

😀

My mother would often make a good custard tart. Occasionally she'd make what we called a gusunder, which is where the custard goes under the pastry and makes an almost inedible mess. She'd still serve it though.

Tapioca = Frog spawn= Britain's most hated pudding according to wikipedia. I agree with wikipedia.

Mrs Zip made an apple crumble using a mix from the freezer.......it was in fact stuffing.

No pudding.

Good luck as she was cremated in 2000!

@IdleJohn The comfort pud version here from an M&S recipe book involves Jersey milk, cream and butter along with the rice and sugar. If we're feeling the need for extra comfort the cream is double cream.

Not for those with dodgy hearts or thickened arteries.

Has anyone actually seen it since 1970s school dinners??

We used to have it sometimes (family on gluten free diet) when I was young, ie the 90's.

Made with soya milk. Frogspawn cooked in glue. Well I used to like it 😋

Edit: Wow. Now I'm remembering it with fondness and making myself feel ill at the same time...

I had some amazing rice pudding at the University Arms in Cambridge several years ago (during one of the eatout phases of the pandemic). Unfortunately they don't seem to have it on the menu anymore 🙁

TBF the University Arms is not the same hotel after the 2 year renovation/re-build. I suspect the food has gone all Cordon Bleu to match the surroundings.

Fruit salad (tomato, olives and avocado) with custard.

All properly 'home' baked puddings are delicious ( specially my lemon sauce pudding). But agree tapioca is disgusting.

School puddings were home made and lovely, apart from the stodgy spotted dick, made from proper suet.

Anything in volving meringue is just wrong. Well that crap supermarket hard dust stuff anyway!

Mother eves pudding... Droooool

tapioca

If done right with some muli and golden syrup it's nice.

Not seen a bad pudding yet.

none

Is the correct answer

My dear aunt Catherine once made a simple cheesecake with crumbled digestives and cream cheese.

This would have been fine, were it not for the fact that instead of plain cream cheese, she had bought the garlic variety.

I had seconds. 🤢
