Tinned steamed puddings 21:20 - Feb 8 with 1626 viewsSwansea_Blue

When did they disappear? I thought I’d get a couple to give the kids a massive carbs and sugar boost after competing, but nobody seems to sell them any more. You used to be able to get fruit ones, golden syrup, even chocolate I think. Food of the gods with custard after a day on the hills, or playing a footie match, etc.

Dear god, and people criticise my culinary tastes! Fray Bentos lips, gristle, trash and todger pies? From the age of desperation on the food front.

Now a beef Vesta Curry - mmm

Steam puddings? They’re not stocked for a reason. They are disgusting. Always were. Put them straight in the bin. The only exception is Christmas Pudding which is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.


I call the pastry ‘Granny Skin’ I’d be happy with just that and some gravy tbh 🤓👍

Them and Fray Bentos pies are in the foods of the gods category Swanners.

The best puddings come in tins.

I also miss tinned ham at Xmas. Ye Olde Ham I think was brand name


You have got to be joking. Ye olde ok ham? Horror in a tin. A pink mess surrounded in grey and green sludge with a wrist slashing key and lid to reveal the ghastliness.

You will be telling me you liked baked beans with sausages in them - more probably a dogs private parts.

That 'grey and green sludge', the 'jelly' was my favourite part. In a cheap white sliced bread sarnie, heavy on the jelly .

Obviously only the criminally insane dont love beans with sausages in um. My 2nd favourite version of tins with beans in um after the Breakfast in a tin

Tinned ham and tomato sarnies was my go-to when I used to go fishing for the day as a kid. Or luncheon meat, which I could always use as bait.

Harsh. Ye Olde Oak Ham was expensive and presented as a treat ffs! In reality it was a downgrade from corned beef and spam - and they were bad enough. Thank goodness for pickled onions, piccalilli and Heinz salad cream to disguise some of it.

You’ve got to be plumbing the depths to like something that resembles the contents of a Hammer film version of a Victorian coffin in Highgate Cemetery

Edit: whoever came up with the idea of a mashed forskin sausage hidden in baked beans for public consumption needed a long stint in jail to think on the error or his/her ways.

I have very little time for pasta or ciabatta bread

You can’t make trifle from a cardboard box. That’s just cardboard.

Used to love trifle. My mum made the best! Angel delight? Liked that but not the devils droppings butterscotch. Banana, strawberry, chocolate big thumbs up. But not left a day. The skin that formed was gross.

Love pasta and ciabatta! Pizza is tolerable but a bit dull but a proper risotto is lovely.

I like the traditional foods too. Things like proper, good quality pies (not with organs in them), roast beef, chicken, venison, lamb, pheasant all good. Summer pudding, banana splits, even rice pudding with a puddle of jam 👍🏻.

Think it was the Birds trifle kit.
Sure it wasn't as good as yer mum's home made version but it's a close second and my mother definitely wasn't gonna knock up a trifle from scratch.

There's no doubting angel delight came in many wondrous flavours.

My partner of 20 odd years is Spanish/South American and is very much of the pasta ciabatta fan club. I buy oven chips and cheap pies etc and hide um in back of freezer to eat when no ones around. It's like my dark food secret

I absolutely love pies, especially pork pies. Every now and then I drive up to a fancy butchers in Enniskillen for their home made pork pies they do on a Saturday. Very very good

We got given a jar of pickled onions in December and I’d forgotten just how good they are. Went very well with the cold Turkey a the food of the gods - pork pie.

On the topic of PPs there’s a couple of butchers near me that do lovely ones. If you have to settle for supermarket ones, Waitrose and M&S are tolerable.

I dread to think what’s in some of the others’

A bacon sandwich is a wonderful thing, especially with real white bread and butter. Is Kerrygold real butter or that nasty emulsified axle grease pretending to be the real thing?

If it is the former (real stuff), you have my permission to use it and I might even give it a tryout.

Kerrygold is most definitely real butter ( the finest Irish butter).

Pickled onions with cold meats, pork pies etc are so good.

Few years ago I drove up to the butchers in Enniskillen and those chefs the Hairy Bikers were in there about to record some TV programme. I asked the butcher if I could just get 3 pork pies quickly before they started filming. They are usually displayed in the window one on top of the other, in a glorious pork pie pyramid.
Unfortunately he wanted them displayed for the TV and didn't want to break up the pork pie pyramid.

I waited what seemed like ages for them to finish filming but was probably 30-45 minutes and then eventually got my 3 pork pies. Including the wait, was probably a 3-4 hour round trip for 3 pork pies. Well worth it

I liked the Hairy Bs. Mrs C uses some of their recipes and I gather they knew their stuff and doubt they’d have looked kindly on a lips and trash pork pie!
