Save our Puddings! The Demise of British Puddings. It appears laborious to imagine, however in keeping with English Heritage, British puddings are not in style.
The British Pudding is Dealing with Extinction
I’ve posted about sure British recipes changing into extinct earlier than, however now, English Heritage has sounded the alarm that the great previous British pudding is dealing with extinction.
Analysis from the charity suggests two-thirds of households in England, Wales and Scotland make puddings solely as soon as a month or much less, whereas a 3rd by no means bake or boil or steam one.
English Heritage warned that if nothing was achieved to stem the tide, the nice British pudding is not going to exist in 50 years, which might be such a disgrace, and yet one more erosion of our culinary historical past.
I’ll repeat what I mentioned earlier than, NOT on my watch! I’ve dozens of conventional British puddings on my web site right here, each candy and savoury.
Dr Andrew Hann, (senior curator of historical past at English Heritage) defines puddings as cooked candy programs that comply with a essential meal – so not simply conventional “puddings” sometimes made in mould or basins but in addition dishes similar to apple pies or crumbles.
I’m sharing a few of my hottest puddings immediately, in a digital Pudding Cookbook under – I do hope you take pleasure in them, in the event you make them, and you might be impressed (as I’m), to avoid wasting our British Puddings. Karen
