Limey 242 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I out a spoon full of curry powder in chili (which comes from a packet) - a pound of ground beef, or ground turkey (works great), lightly fried to get the grease out, but not necessary with very lean meat. Add onions, or leek, and leave in the slow cooker all afternoon. The addition of the curry gives it a very different flavor - which most seem to like! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi Paulus, 'Bread and Butter Pudding' - Venetian style: sultanas, raisins, candied peel, glace cherries, angelica and spices; tastes as good as it looks (and sounds). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 The only school dinner puddings I can remember are (In no particular order) Sago, (Frogspawn) pink custard,(What they ( laughingly) called Blancmange, and the one we called 'concrete, pudding , which was of the same texture and constitution as the title suggests !
