Does anyone remember cremola?

cotsvale

My mum used to cook me Cremola, similar texture to Semolina but a different taste. She made it with milk in a saucepan and then I'd sprinkle some sugar on it and it was yummy, warming and filling in the winter months and cheap!!

Is it still available anywhere???

Not sold anymore, but have a look at this http://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/content/articles/2007/08/16/cremola_feature.shtml

Hi cotsvale,

I don't think it's still available but I found this recipe to make it yourself.

Here's me thinking Cremola Foam - the stuff you mixed with water to make a gutt bustin, tooth rotting drink.

Those milky puds sound fab.

Used to love this - I make a "version" in the same way as rice pudding - 2 tblsps ground rice, 2 tblsps sugar, a pint of milk and dot with butter, grate nutmeg on the top. If you want it slightly creamier you can use a tin of evaporated milk made up to a pint with water.

EDIT: I see there's a similar version with custard powder, started off like custard and finished off like rice pudding... hmmm.... have to give that a try!

Foamy stuff - I remember drinking it just after having my adenoids out and it all came frothing out of my nose like some sort of horror film :eek:

Yes, I even had a Cremola badge from saving tops / coupons, can't remember now, so far back

Still got my Golly badge as well

Yes I remember it as well with a big dollop of jam in the middle, I too had a badge from the packet tops .

If the jam is homemade blackberry, and it always was in our house, it turns the Cremola purple !
