Eve’s pudding

Yum yum !

Gosh! That’s a blast from the past with Domestic Science lessons.

Oh yes it was the first thing I made in Domestic Science after we had made our own aprons.

Sounds great. It sometimes amazes me how fast a Kenwood or food processor can make baking.

Aprons made in needlework for my year BigBertha1. I think first Domestic Science lesson was ‘how to wash up’ 🤣 followed by poached eggs on toast, fairy cakes……

Love an eve's pud, and so so easy to make. Good with ice-cream in Summer.

Got lots of rhubarb, might break with tradition and make a rhubarb one for a change.

My Mum used to make it.

Sadly, I think it's just called rhubarb sponge, Fleurpepper
As is Plum sponge called plum sponge (also delicious).

Eve may not have had rhubarb in the Garden of Eden! 😁

(Sorry, just being pedantic.)

I've got an old BeRo book with the recipe in. It's years since I made it.

LOL, I stand corrected.

I don't know what happened to our rhubarb, it didn't survive the winter.
We must buy another crown.

I've done that before - we usually have lots of rhubarb too. Add a wee touch of orange or ginger for a change sometimes as well. I have to say that I prefer an apple eve's pudding to apple pie.

Haven't made that in years. Forgotten all about but now that I've been reminded I will make it again. My mum used to make it regularly for Sunday lunch.

Our rhubarb crowns have taken years to establish good and proper- and this year, doing great for the first time.

As a young teacher, our school dinners were served in the classroom. One little boy hated them, I remember asking him to eat his Eve's pudding up. He replied that if Eve liked it would she eat it for him? All the others were resisting licking their dishes. I was sitting with tears running down my face.

My rhubarb has been superb this year. I will now have to make a pudding. Might even make an Eve’ s pudding.

Where was that Bella? Never heard of school dinners served in the classroom.

Never?
Do you think small village schools have separate dining rooms or assembly halls?
Reality check time.

It’s one of those old fashioned puddings that’s delicious. I often use rhubarb which is prolific in my garden I love it.

In what was a very poor district of West Cumbria.
The dinners were a hoot,they came through from the on-site kitchen in trolleys and each teacher had to sit and supervise a table. The Dinner ladies served.
When you started the afternoon session you had to be careful when you sat at the tables, if there had been glace cherries they were all stuck under the tables and the cupboards were full of brussel sproats.The site was on a hill and it was quite a new school so presumably they could not fit a dinning room in and the head would not let them use the hall which most schools would have as she didn't want her wooden floors damaged.
There were only a few walls in the building it was called open plan so you could hear all the other teachers encouraging the pink custard.
To top it all the classes were what was called family grouped so you often had three children from the same family of all different ages in your class of 42. It really was a trial by fire, not a Probationary year.

I think the small village schools had canteens attached to the kitchens or they did where I lived. The school I worked in was meant to be state of the art obviously not designed by teachers.

Eve's pudding is one of my favourites, delicious! My first cookery lesson was how to prepare a grapefruit! We were obviously not an advanced group. I remember being instructed as to how to remove the 'skin' between each segment and leave the grapefruit looking perfectly untouched. Not a skill I've used since.

I too have a very old be-ro book inherited from my late mum.I must dig it out.😋Also yes we had school dinners in the classroom in 2 country village schools i attended.

Not in our lovely , entirely modern open plan but tiny village school!
The children sat at big round tables (pushed together if necessary) and the two teachers sat and had lunch with them.

Our first lesson was knife control we had to make zigzag tomatoes. As we travelled a lot of miles on a bus you can imagine the state of them. My dad took one look and said "So what, they still taste the same.'
I did make Eves pudding and custard at school, I can still remember the smell of burned sponge and milk for the custard.
