Laydeeeeze an Genulmen, I give you............................Sticky Toffee pudding.![]()
Well, you say that, but I don't think you've ever given me a Sticky Toffee Pudding....
What's Leek Pudding, vernon?
My mate at work got given one of those cookbooks you write all your own recipes into. The other day he said he'd discovered that his Mum had written his Auntie Margaret's Savoury Pudding in it. He hates Auntie Margaret's Savory Pudding....
(It's apparently eggs and breadcrumbs in a pastry case, baked....)
There's many variations of this north eastern delicacy but it's essentail a savoury suet pudding with leeks (and sometimes bacon) in it. Some variants are steamed and some are baked. My granny's was baked and served with a gravy made with onions and the juices from the roast. it had just the right degree of moistness under the oven baked crust and it was the highlight of the Sunday dinner for me. I keep intending to research the recipe(s) and try to recreate the pinnacle of north eastern cuisine.
Growing up in the NE, leek pudding was a staple. I hated it then and I've no desire to try it now.
Hate leek pudding and from the north east? Does not compute![]()

I do, however, make the world's finest pease pudding, finest homecooked ham, and my own stottiecake.
