I remember it from school too..... and sago pudding, all served with a dollop of jam.

Loads of girls on my lunch table didn't like it so I could usually shovel away several helpings. And I always got the skin on the top.

All of these puds were sold in tins but I've not seen them around for a while.

Love Love LOVE all milk puds.

Nowt wrong with sweet macaroni pud. In fact, I think because I always had it as a sweet pudding, I can't abide macaroni cheese.... I always think it *should* be sweet :rotfl:

We always had macaroni pud too - it was my fave. We also had rice pud and tapioca, all with lovely brown skins on the top. We'd fight to scrape the caramelised crunchy bits off the edge of the tin pie dish it was cooked in.

We used to have it when I was young-along with sago, tapioca, flaked tapioca, rice, flaked rice and semolina.We must have had some kind of milk pudding nearly every day!

I've got a budget cookery book from the 1970s that has quite a few desserts that use pasta. Must admit that for some strange reason I've never been brave enough to try them. Makes sense from a cost point of view though I suppose!
