Knickerbocker Glory A Great Dessert Name

Knickerbocker Glory- takes me back to my early teens and a caff where we hung out listening to the juke box and drinking coffee out of glass cups. The icecream desserts in a glass with a long handled spoon seemed the height of cool.

Fly cemeteries (pastry filled with raisins) with lashings of custard were a staple at school dinners.

Death By Chocolate - a very rich chocolate gateau

An authentic Italian Tiramisu - meaning “Pick-me-up”.
It should be light and fluffy mmmmm……

murder on the concrete
Would that have been semolina with that lurid red squirty sauce?

At school we used to have Thames mud and murder on the concrete. Yummy.

Roly Poly pudding or Dead Man’s leg. Lovely with Jacques?

Clootie!

My Grans Cooltie dumpling was a firm winter favourite.

I do like a knickerbocker Glory , but nowadays it's a case of eyes bigger than tummy. ?

My mom used to make bread pudding (not to be confused with bread and butter pudding).
It was lush

When OH was working and living in Cairo we used to go to a non-tourist shop near his house for baklava. I used to buy tubs of it to take into work.

I love spotted dick with custard, however in these days of monkey pox … ?

crazyH are they those syrupy slightly crunchy pinkish coloured sweets that Asian shops sell?

Lardy cake in our bakers, or used to be, not sure if they’re still made.

Knickerbocker Glory, banana split et al are still very popular in ice cream parlours here (seaside town in the SE) and enjoyed by foreign visitors particularly, who see them as British. PS I make a mean Eton Mess- the perfect pudding for lousy cooks ( that's me)

Rum babas for me? but love baklava too. Sooo expensive to buy but I’ve made both of these deserts and though I say it myself they weren’t half bad.

Yes, of course spotted dick, great name and not forgetting manchester tart - you gotta laugh

My oh used to live Charlotte Roux think that's how you spell it, his mum used to have to order it,I have never seen it.

As a teenager I had a weekend job in our local Wimpy Bar.
Knickerbocker glory was on the menu and I loved making them. I always got told off by the boss though as I was too generous with the fruit and he complained about his profits!
I just made them as I would want to eat them ??

Far too sweet for me!

Baklava I think!

Yes. Thank you!

I love Eton Mess. I also love Pavlova and make a few every summer. I love knickerbocker glory. I haven’t had one for a while but would love one in Fortnum and Mason. One day I’ll take my granddaughter there. Talking about puddings - I made two strawberry crumbles this morning and froze them. Delicious with lashings of cream!

Baklava I think!

What’s that Greek dessert - like shredded wheat with honey and nuts?

I’ve just googled them Blossoming. Wow!
