Comfort food

[Tony Moanero]

Called it afters as a kid but now say dessert as it seems to be commonly used these days. Pudding was a term that my dad’s aunt, who liked to think she was posh, used.

Pudding also makes a great insult.

Yeah, we always called it afters as kids. Dessert was just something they said in restaurants or TV shows. Pudding was only used for actual puddings, like Christmas puddings, Steak and Kidney puddings, Yorkshire puddings etc.

When I was a little kid we went to a cafe/restaurant with my parents and my nan. My Nan told me I was going to have a 'sweet' and I was genuinely waiting for some sort of boiled confectionary. I was sorely disappointed when it never arrived.

Haha, had sort of the same round my Nan's after being told I needed to eat my veg with the Sunday roast otherwise I wouldn't get a sweet. My 4 year old self wasn't impressed with the rice pudding as my 'reward'.

I must be getting to know this place, I sort of knew someone would say something like that.

 

I can't stand it, I've just never liked hot milky stuff like rice pudding, porridge, Ready Brek etc. It's the texture and smell.

I love those cold rice puddings from Müller or Oetker.

Agreed. The smell of warm milk is vomit-inducing.

Proper porridge is made with water, not milk.

 

My Dad is a porridge expert which is why I know that, I'm a Frosted Shreddies man myself. Big boy shit.

Yeah, hot water poured on to oats, drop of honey for sweetness, lovely.

I remember we always had it with water when we were kids.  Milk seems to be a more recent addition.

I used to live in a hole in the ground... luxury! 

 

Couldn't do water in porridge, mate. That's too far. Way too far. 

[Remmie]

I don't find the difference between milk and water in making porridge to be that noticeable so tend to cook the porridge with water and serve it with a splash of milk to coat the oats and cool it down.

We didnt have it that often. There was about 8 kids in my cousin's family and they had water in theirs pretty much every day.  Fucking grim. 

 

I used to get excited whenever mum bought ready brek though!

Scots oat Porridge is where it was at, although ready brek was ok.

Did he keep it in a drawer?

 

For the uninitiated, it really is a thing

He's only become a porridge person since I left home so he could keep it in a pair of tights for all I know.

I’ve not had proper porridge in years. Years ago, it was freezing cold and snow was falling. I ate a boxful of Ready Brek in one sitting and set off for town in just my underpants. Ended up with hypothermia. “Central heating for kids”

my arse.
