Eyes bigger than belly

bags your eyes know better than you that an eighth of pie is not a meal!

OGM Yes! All suet-based puds are the tops. Jam roly-poly, treacle topped dumplings, spotted dick...served with real thick, yellow custard.

MargaretX, you're right! It must have been the phillie that was philling.

My nana made the best steamed banana sponge I have ever tasted I try and try to get mine to the same consistancy but no chance the same with the rice pudding I can never get the skin right on the top sort of half burnt and not (if you see what I mean)
soop I can let you know the glamma household are now having thick yellow custard with blackcurrant tart for pudds tonight after reading your post,was with ice cream but I can taste the custard.

I love things savoury but OH on a cold evening - or rather in the evening after a cold afternoon walk - there's nothing so good as a little something sweet.

And I'm the one who mostly opts for a starter and no pud. This is so unlike my lovely SiL, who loves her puds and won't look at the WHOLE menu until she's found THE pudding.

I always have my naughty something sweet after a healthy main course, of course! glowing halo emoticon.

Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa! I succumbed
I just had to have that golden syrup sponge, well it would have been out of date after tomorrow and waste not want not, or do I mean waist not?

And you did want it!

My eyes are often bigger than my belly. I like a meal with lots of different tastes but I think I am being increasingly defeated by the massive portion sizes we seem to be served when out for a meal nowadays.

I don't often have room for a nice sponge pudding any more I used to though.

Portion control needed in my house as well.

Unfortunately, as I'm gluten intolerant, I can't eat sponge puddings so I have to have things with loads of cream and, usually, meringue! We were all invited to DD3's for lunch yesterday but, as she was doing apple and rhubarb crumble, I had to make, and take, a lemon roulade!

That is the best excuse for a lemon roulade that I have ever heard

And I'm sticking to it!!

If you google gluten free sponge there are recipes and also tesco have one.

Don't spoil it for me Galen

Actually, I make an almond and orange cake, that Absent posted, quite often - it is delicious.
