Yeah, @Reynard picked me up on that one, and you're both almost certainly right.

One day, if you all ask me really nicely, I'll tell you about making rice pudding in the African bush over a campfire.

Is it any different to boiling Milk, Rice. Sugar and a pinch of Nutmeg on a stove in Blighty?

Yes.

 

[classic33]

Yes.

In what way?

 

[MikeG]

No milk. No nutmeg. No stove. Stones in the (long-grain & salty) rice. Praying mantis chopping the wings off moths and dropping them into the pudding........

Thanks for the birthday wishes, folks

You want more? The water to make the milk was hauled out of a well in a goatskin (by a Maasai boy wearing only a blanket and carrying a spear), filtered through a tee shirt, and treated with iodine, then mixed with milk powder (it never mixes properly, so you make a roux, then push it through your only strainer, a small tea strainer). Have you ever tasted iodine?

Alexa put your casserole in the oven?

Damn! These new-dangled gizmos are cleverer than I thought.

We're doomed, Captain Manwairing. Doomed, I tell ye.

Anyone who's ever had Laphroaig 10 year old knows the taste of iodine.

Pickled herring?

A very nice single Islay malt.

My tasting of Iodine came after a 'faceplant' split my lip as a kid.

EDITED to replace it with Iodine, I had to wait a lot longer to taste Laphroaig.

They replaced your lip with iodine!

That's cruel.
