Gherkins in the US are invariably sweet. You have to look hard for the dill or sour variety.

A couple of years ago I made a haggis curry for my birthday. I thought it was pretty good, as did the minister who was dining with us. However, he called a few days later to say thank you, but he was NEVER again eating with us on a Saturday before he was preaching. Apparently the ozone layer took a bad hit that day.

When I make haggis, I put a bowl of Branston pickle on the table: they go together surprisingly well.

Haggis sounds good but not curried, sorry.
Anyone ever try natto? Apparently there are very few people who like the offending beans. They are so disgusting I can only fail in any effort to describe the taste of the slimy little buggers.

Do people like rice pudding? Or bread pudding? When I first heard about rice pudding I wanted to throw up but then I tried some and really liked it. It can't have raisins in it, though. Yuck. How about bread pudding? Now, THAT sounds dubious to me. What's in it, besides the obvious? Is it sweet?

I think actually the point 5th Mary is making is the idea of rice and milk as a pudding and then bread with a custard as a pudding.
Yes bread pudding is sweet.The recipe is large bread and fruit in a spiced custard. There is also bread and butter pudding the main difference is the bread is still in slices and is buttered.
The Beeb also gives a recipe for rice pudding. Normally no raisins but spice and plenty of sugar. Traditionally it is served with jam.
I have made both rice pudding and bread and butter pudding. Now I believe the making of rice pudding was due to my mothers odd sense of duty. I hate the stuff and always have. However the bread and butter irc is quite tasty.

Granddaughter-Unit and I went to visit my parents. Mom asked what she would like to eat, and I suggested spaghetti and meatballs.
When dinner was ready, I found out that the spaghetti sauce for the noodles was as you would expect, but Dad had prepared meatballs in barbecue sauce. After I asked him, he said yes, that's what he had intended.
It wasn't TOO bad.

Back to Jengie's post - the BBC Bread pudding recipes is correct in being recognisable as bread pudding - but it really isn't right.
1. You need stale bread and 2. it should include suet. I know this because I was brought up on the stuff, it was always wonderful especially with plenty of bright yellow custard.
Bread and butter pudding - an entirely different pudding which I also eat a lot of in childhood - but it didn't have double cream in it. Mind you I would agree that this would be an improvement and also we now know how wonderful it is made with brioche. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

You beat me to it; Panettone makes a great bread and butter pudding. The trouble is that you and I know this is on the wrong thread. B&BP is fantastic and is not a disgusting food combination.

Yorkshire pudding (a big one cut into squares not the piddly little individual ones) makes a great pudding still warm and topped with jam.

I realise I have something like this in my freezer, created as a desperate "I've got to finish these things up before going away" dish. It looks like - well, you can guess what it looks like. But mine actually tastes OK. The texture is roughly bread and butter pudding, but savoury. It's not OK enough to do again, I think.

I read an article in a Hawaiian magazine once. They talked about how many Europeans tend to find certain Japanese and Chinese food disgusting; sea urchin and fermented soybeans being examples. They asked several Japanese and Chinese descent residents what European foods they had found disgusting. Rice Pudding was an answer given several times.

Yes, I can understand that. My own combo would be cereal drenched in milk which personally I think is revolting, but it seems hugely popular here in Britain.

Earlier this week I had an amazing marmalade bread and butter pudding in a gastropub in Formby.

Actually, the savory B&BP that we were taught to make at school would probably be quite nice with marmite added. I'll have to see if I can find my recipe

OK, so I have started my ‘eat through’ of this thread.
The balsamic vinegar dressing and lemonade was fine – but then I would happily drink balsamic vinegar neat.
Marmite chocolate cake – fabulous!
Wine and coke? No I didn’t like it, adding anything to wine spoils the wine imo, and I hate coke.
Marmite and marmalade together on toast – yes, very tasty – I will eat it again sometime.
The combination of peanut butter and jam – bleugh, bleugh, bleugh – I’m glad I only tried a tiny amount! Foul, inedible, rankety rank rank.
Salt and grapes – fine, but prefer them without.
Strawberries in balsamic vinegar – very palatable, ditto raspberries.
Now I will have to source some maple syrup and angel delight to sample the next pieces of the thread.

You want to how to Tianjin. As we sat down to the obligatory banquet, we found these small tubes with straws before us. The local aperitif - neat vinegar. (The Food Treat was a sort of pasta in sauce, which resembled snot in slime).

Boogie, was it the taste or texture or both that was the turn off for the PB&J? My hypothesis is that the texture is the big obstacle in adults who try it for the first time, unless you just hate peanuts.

When I tried it, it just jarred - the texture wasn't the problem, the combination of flavours was.
Chocolate peanut butter cups are another oddity that take time to get used to. Peanuts do have a strong flavour and you either like them or you don't. I don't particularly.

I like peanut butter and banana sandwiches for breakfast (not fried or covered in egg, just toast) and peanut butter and bean sprout sandwiches for lunch, not that I do that one unless I'm growing my own bean sprouts, but I can't stand PBJ - it's too sweet, really disgusting. But I also search for sugar free peanut butter.

They're very popular over here, but I don't get it. I quite like PB (spread on crackers, and it has to be the crunchy sort), and I love chocolate, but IMHO they just don't go together.

I'm an adult in the UK and love peanut butter with jam! Love the salty creamyness with the sweet fruitiness. In fact I now really fancy a PBJ sandwich
I would like chocolate peanut butter cups if I could find ones not made by Hershey - Hershey's chocolate is horrendous. Waxy and tastes of sour milk.
