Though lots of fellow Aussies love the pickled pork, not a dish I would willingly eat. I still indulge the family with rice puddings, bread and butter pudding, baked custard, all dishes that my English friends love, maybe with slight variations. Not on other's menus too often these days, and only on ours in the cooler months, but comfort food always plays a part in childhood memories. Anyone else still make cottage pies?Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-20308348942242979502012-03-13T23:17:49.069+00:002012-03-13T23:17:49.069+00:00Gipsy tart!

The best kind of pudding ever served up in the name of school dinners, but virtually unknown outside Kent. <br /><br />For the benefit of anyone who didn't have Kent school dinners, it's a sweet pastry case filled with a mixture of evaporated milk whisked together with muscovado sugar - it sets to the texture of a mousse.<br /><br />I saw it on a restaurant menu a while back (in Maidstone) so of course I had to order some. It was nice enough, but a delicate little individual tartlet garnished with a kumquat didn't quite do it for me, I wanted a SLAB, ideally shovelled out of a great big serving dish onto a melamine plate!Audrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109060807297085410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-8854067013055376512012-03-13T21:49:06.869+00:002012-03-13T21:49:06.869+00:00Item number 10 on that list, pickled beef, is stil...Item number 10 on that list, pickled beef, is still regularly eaten in Australia, only we call it corned beef. It has no resemblance to what is call corned beef in the UK.<br /><br />In Australia until people had refrigerators keeping meat fresh was a big problem due to the heat. Therefore many beef and pork were regularly salted and kept in a brine as a fantastic method of preservation.<br /><br />My family still love having what we call "corned beef" and "pickled pork".jennyalogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026183619148478639noreply@blogger.com
