Meghan’s April Fool?

Isn't Sussex pond pudding a steamed suet thing?

Surely not.fruit spread ?

I think traditionally it"s steamed, theirs may not be, possibly more of a "half baked" sort of concoction, to reflect other aspects of their lives.

Then again they may go for the "sue it" which Harry is partial to.

I want Sussex pond pudding now, Terribull.

I often used to buy one of these "Favourite" recipe books when we visited somewhere on a holiday or day outing.

I know Sussex pond reipe sounded really good but I never got around to making it. Wonder if I've still got those I bought squirrelled away in a bookcase somewhere.

Waitrose empty jars were dearer than those with jam.

Aah but the company for Bonne maman were French resistance supporters in WW2. I always buy their jam and reuse their jars!

I did make a Sussex Pond Pudding years ago, probably before the Sussexes were even born or thought of, and it was utterly delicious with about 1,500 calories per portion.

I used to make that a lot in my catering days.I got the recipe from the late Jane Grigson’s “English Food.”
It went down VERY well!

It is delicious!

Perhaps you could give Meghan some tips from your catering days?

Well I live in Sussex just, and I've yet to find that pudding in a restaurant here or any where else for that matter so I guess I'd have to make my own , as you did Allira. We do have plenty of ponds here at least, minus the puddings of course and also minus our very own Duke and Duchess of Sussex although I believe the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk live in Arundel. I'm not sure Montecito Meghan "call me Mrs Sussex" has graced us with her presence "As Ever" we live in hopes. Perhaps the fruit spread could go head to head with Tiptree's jam from Essex, why Danny (Dyer) Duke of Essex, he's descended from royalty don't you know, is fiercely proud of his jam.

"Perhaps you could give Meghan some tips from your catering days?"

Not needed, I believe Meghan's production had filched some of the crew from the runaway success that was "Boil it Like Beckham" where Brooklyn mesmerised his audience with feats such as "Boiling a Kettle", "Boiling an Egg" culminating in his piece de resistance "Boil in a Bag Fish".

Anyone who saw Meghan commit dried pasta to vegetables being cooked in some sort of stock, well where do you think she got that idea from?????

Wot!? The eponymous couple have not been to grace their people with their presence?

Keep 'em coming, Terribull

Boil it like Beckham 😁 hope he used white eggs like Delia!

Ps I'm hopeless with cooking eggs, leave it to Himself.

I see the edible flowers are £15 a jar, so I may have to give them a miss. I wonder whether some of this stuff is new to American women so they may find it really interesting?

I’m quite impressed with my own recycling idea for jam jars. I have spider plant babies and money plant cuttings growing quite happily in my laundry room ready to be potted on for sale at the next church spring fair or coffee morning. Also my grandchildren who love painting when they visit use jam jars for the water and I dont have a nightstand sorry but I do collect marbles and they look quite pretty in the big glass coffee jars, so many ideas I dont know which to go with next 😁

Spot on Angiewub: the Bonne Maman family firm were amazing in WW2.
I like to read ingredients and Bonne Maman products are great - including their biscuits and puddings ... 😋 yum.

Pansies must be edible as something's been nibbling mine!

Yes, yes, yes! 😁
