It wasn't a totally new concept, as my maternal grandmother would make her earth oven steamed spice pudding served with custard too. The hot dessert I really liked, which was different was the Self saucing chocolate pudding served with vanilla ice cream. On cold winter nights ... A treat.

Aren't you the someone who'd suggested and helped out with a few recipes, even a pretty uber traditional one?
Childhood ... The Christmas holidays and pudding with custard. Happy memories.
The boarding house fare weren't too bad. I believe that I can still finish an entire tray to myself now, without needing any ice cream. #Will always remember Ms Dodge and Mrs Halliwell
Yes I did. Traditional methods work@see liquidized cocoa in pudding pre baking, turns into magic a la Magic custardy cake.
The boarding house head chefs didn't skimp on our daily fares at all. Childhood memories borne out of those kitchens. 💛😋0 -
Just thought of one that I don't think has been mentioned, bubble gum cigarettes! I used to love those packs! If you blew really hard on it sugar would fly out and it would look like smoke just like how the adults looked. I used to pretend I was my mom. Not surprisingly I ended up being a smoker at a young age!
Lol ... The only thing that would fly out for us, was if we rolled up white paper and poured cornstarch into it to blow out, imitating our mum's siblings who were teen and 20 something's smokers. We never did smoke however. :laugh:1 -

This was our chocolate and strawberry milk brand back when we were single digits. Fonterra hadn't bought the company then, so it was either imported from NZ or Australia to be sold at niche stores, usually friends of our parents who would stock them in a semi sloshed milk liquid state.0 -

I honestly hate cheese sauce on broccoli and I know I'm the only one, pretty much. haha
My former mother-in-law was appalled by this.
I actually hadn't tried cheese-free broccoli until my late twenties and then I started liking broccoli.0 -

Wow, you're the first person I've ever heard of that remembers those! I've mentioned them to people before and all I get is blank stares. They did exist!! 😁3 -

If you didn't like broccoli, you should never try Pacific island spinach stems. Prep method : Peeling off the exterior ( think prepping rhubarbs) . Blanching the stems for 5 minutes. Shredding them with a fork lengthwise. Serve with a thin coconut lemon chili dressing ( raw onions, tomatoes, Italian parsley).
My point ^ ... If you sat through having to eat the above, where you can still taste the crunchy rawness, broccoli and cheesy dressing was like heaven.1 -

Actually the spinach stems sounds like something I'd love! I adore rhubarb, crunchy veggies, etc. Yum!1 -

I was never a fan of cheese sauce and broccoli! I'd much prefer broccoli plain or even with a little bit of mayo! Lol thats how i grew up eating broccoli and i really don't like it paired with cheese either!1 -

Cheese + broccoli + ketchup is one of my favorite things. I also love broccoli with nutritional yeast and liquid aminos0 -

ME TOO. I'm so glad my mall still has Sbarro, 'cause a lot of the other food places have closed, but I can still get my stromboli when I want it!2 -
Well, due to that other thread, now I have angel food cake on the brain. It was a favorite birthday dessert of mine as a kid, I would always request it. Store bought angel food cake, with some whipped cream topping - that’s it. Man I loved it so much!2

Omg what?! Is that popcorn with milk??! 😱0 -
Tuna and Noodle Casserole with peas and potato chip crust. It was one of my favorites growing up. I still make it in the winter...usually after a day on the slopes...for whatever reason, I really crave it after skiing all day.5 -
More an early teen memory. My dad making milk coffee on the stove in winter and serving with nutmeg on top. Nutmeg always brings this memory back.3

My Dad used to make stovetop coffee like that too. Not sure about the nutmeg but that conjured up a lovely memory 1
