Was I expecting too much?

What does this even mean? :rotfl: of course we do!

Also do you mean rice pudding? I've never heard it been called pudding rice!! :think: maybe a regional thing!

Rice pudding is made with pudding rice

We are northern folk and rice bought to make a rice pudding would be pudding rice:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I know, but even 'just a little bit of beef suet' doesn't make it vegetarian. I wasn't even shopping for myself, but a visiting family member who checks that every single bite she eats is 100% veggie.

No trifle (if the fruit jelly contains the usual pork or beef gelatine).
No cheese (if made with rennet).

Luckily, she eats dairy - otherwise it would have been me who was stuffed, not just the turkey!

I have this really weird 'thing' that I do. If f I want something totally different to what everyone else is going to be eating, I take it myself or go without. I know, odd, right?

To get back to the original post. I did once ask for the confectionery aisle and the guy in Asda said "you mean the smellies" pointing me towards toiletries.

Ah I see what you mean now! I thought you meant buying it ready made! I haven't had rice pudding in ages and I want some now lol

Rice aside - I don't think it the OP was expecting too much for a UK shop employee to know what a Christmas Pudding was and that it is not the same thing as a Yorkshire Pudding(*). But it would be logical to look for them in bakery alongside Mince Pies and Christmas Cakes. And I would have thought a Christmas temp would have been told/worked out what the Christmas specific items were...

I say UK employee because puds are relatively unknown in Europe. I once bought one in January to send to an Italian friend who couldn't get her head round the idea of "looks like a panettone but richer and heavier".

(*) I guess you could serve one with cream and a pool of flaming brandy

I think it’s a generation thing, lots of young people don’t know what ingredients & non fast food items are.

I was in Waitrose a couple of weeks ago looking for their short grain pudding rice.

I expected it to be with the baking goods. I asked, the young girls just didn’t know what I was on about :-)
Anyway I found it with the tinned fruit. Oddly Waitrose separate out the dessert type stuff from the baking - if I were laying it out I’d put all that together.

That's where it is in Morrisons..along with tapioca, semolina and ground rice; tinned or in packets.
