This was made with Gluten Free flour (which tasted like wallpaper but it was still OK other than that!)

I spoke to a person aged about 60 and another about 21 and talked to them about English Cooking. Naturally the older person said they ‘remember breadpudding’ but I was also surprised that the 21 year old loved breadpudding too. In fact his mother is a very good cook, so much so, he likes cooking now. You would think that all 21 year olds are brought up on burgers and takeaway chinese food, but not all of them.

It’s great to think that bread pud will survive into the next generation. It’s funny how you never see this being offered at restaurants and similar establishments. The Chain Restaurants may want us to scoff American burgers all the time, but some of us, brought up on English cooking, don’t want this. Something different, means perhaps English food! Even my boss who is Indian, wants to bring back English food! I am already given her some of my homemade ginger cake! I eat her curries but she eats my English food! She recognises that we need to bring our culture back, being Indian she needs her culture too.
