Now, is my family just weird ...

Chollita

... or does anyone else make macaroni as a dessert?

I cooked some for dinner earlier, which reminded me of how my mum used to make it with sugared milk for pud when I was younger ... loved it ... but, oh, Mr Cholly's face when I told him :rotfl: he's probably wondering if this is some weird English thing (Mr C is from Argentina).

So were we the only ones?

No!!! When I was young I remember my aunt giving me macaroni as a sweet milk pudding for dessert.

Oh dear and Mr C already thinks I'm mad and is very very scared of the prospect of meeting my family ...

no its normal, my grandma makes it
I've seen a recipe for sweet lasagne too- layered with mincemeat or stewed fruits and custard

Oh how weird!!! My dear mum used to make this, and I hated it, but loved rice pud. Just lately I've had a real longing for macaroni pudding:o I must make one, will have to go to buy some tomorrow:rotfl:

Chollita

Phew! Thanks, Linda & Jo, glad I'm not alone, I thought I was going to have to start a 'Eat Macaroni Pud' campaign.

Of course, now Mr C will just think that ALL the English are mad ... he already says we sound like we're strangling the words when we speak our own language ...

I've never heard of thisand thought you were weird too! Then I remembered that's pretty much what rice pudding is so I don't see why it shouldn't be a pudding :rotfl:

I can remember having this when I was quite young - not sure where though. I know it wasn't in school - it could possibly have been in hospital when I was about 4 years old.
