Point of order- suet puds are northern.

Happy to travel in any direction

Good to hear. Might i suggest the Bipham kitchen for a very good example of the genre.

Is Suet the emperor's new clothes then?

suet is blue packaged meat fat not that poncy green packaged vegetable fat crud

Be careful he might be holding the olive and rice cracker between his teeth and wearing a thong!

I think his wife might have something to say about that !!!

I'm sorry; not true. Historical example: Sussex Pond Pudding (first documented in 1642 but almost certainly older) - but the whole gamut of Spotted Dick, Jam Roly Poly, suet dumplings, s+k pud etc etc has a long and noble history all over the UK.

And I've just wiki'd S+K pud: "The first recipe for steak and kidney pudding to appear in print came from Sussex, in a book by Mrs Beeton published by Ward, Lock and Tyler in 1870."

Soz but you're not 'aving that!

Lies all lies.

So... like... we didn't have suet and flour south of anywhere north ... till... like... what... just now? Come now my chum, take your medicine. Not everything in the South is bad. Truly.

My great grandma made her own suet puddings. Very nice they were till i found out the rags she used to hold them in place while being boiled were her old knickers!

I would have thought they'd be perfect in form and fabric!

I have a book that says Rolf Harris is a well respected entertainer. not everything in print is true and not everything on wiki is true either.

if the pud is a suvvern dish then why is is such a task to find one . and a chippy that does gravy , mushy peas, or even " chip shop curry " is a difficulty to find in the "cultured" south .

I'm not the type to take pictures of my food, but I was extolling the virtues of my local pub on the pub thread the other day, and having had lunch there yesterday I feel the need to post this:

OK that was saved in my computer the right way up but I don't know how to change it. The blobs are onions in the gravy poured liberally over the puds. Warily I opened up the crust:

How perfect is that? Crust exactly the right thickness, a shade under 1/2", light yet coherent, packed with filling. Perfect proper gravy. Mr G managed to eat mash with his and I just about managed most of the pud with veg. Reckon for a lighter lunch you could share.

I've not had better since my Mum stopped bothering to make them in the 1970s...

Looks lovely, I'm drooling as I type (calm down ladies ) my Mrs and M-i-L both make fantastic puddings just like that one. I'm a lucky chap.

Brilliant argument until you brought Peter Kay into it.

Yebbut, Chips with gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce really IS a northern thing, happy to grant you that. When I was a girl in Pompey you didn't see mushy peas in the chippy. Also chippies down south have never much gone in for selling suet puddings - pied yes, savs, yes. Suet pud is domestically universal, though varied in form. Yorkshire pud - I'd grant you that - we always had that with beef and openly acknowledged the provenance!
