FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTEEEEEEE!!!!!!

IT IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!!

(nobody would really pick bread pudding, would they?)

ILX MAKES ME HUNGRY!!!

chocolate or tapioca? hmmmm, yummy yummy pearls! I CAN'T CHOOSE!!!!

These people own me: http://www.kozyshack.com/

MMMMMM, FLAN!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:11 (twenty years ago)

Rice pudding!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

Define flan: French or Brit version? I ask because I had a gorge F Flan last week, flavoured with orange blossom. I still don't think it matches bread pudding, though. A proper one like they make at Hurst Castle, for example, is the food of the gods.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:14 (twenty years ago)

"Define flan: French or Brit version?"

oh gosh, i don't think i know the difference. and they are probably both different than the flan you get in the states. Kozyshack - my lords and masters - makes a regular rice pudding AND a "European" rice pudding that is thicker and has more vanilla (and actual vanilla bean bits!) in it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:22 (twenty years ago)

Why do Americans call flan "Flarn"?

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:29 (twenty years ago)

also - Spanish/Portugese flan, which = creme caramel, sometimes with extra added pig fat mmmmmmmm

― Porkpie (porkpie), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

Oh my word, rice pudding is amazing. I've got a great recipe that requires half an hour of stirring instead of 3 hours of waiting, and it's immense. On a chilly November evening, there is very little that beats rice pudding for sheer scrumptiousness.

― Come Back Johnny B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

Bread pudding or bread & butter pudding?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:34 (twenty years ago)

Rice pudding obv, providing it is proper homemade stuff and not that Ambrosia slime.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

Rice pudding. I think Johnny B should post his recipe.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:47 (twenty years ago)

This is like the Lesser of Five Evils questions!

None of the above! Yuck!

If someone was holding a gun to my head and demanding that I choose, I would pick Chocolate Pudding, I think, as at least the chocolateyness of it makes up for the vile revolting puddingness of it.

But generally, no. Ick.

― I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:47 (twenty years ago)

My mam used to make rice pudding when I was a nipper, delicious smell of nutmeg and juicy sultanas. Absolutely num, comfort food par excellence.

I sometimes makes a bread and butter pudiing using a sweer brioche, spread with marmalade and dusted with cocoa. Rather darn good if I say so myself.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:23 (twenty years ago)

let's not forget panna cotta.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

all of it pls. i will stand up as the lone bread pudding fan, as long as it's served scorchingly hot and not too sickly sweet.

― and I can walk out into the world, singing with my people (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

kozyshack REALLY has the market cornered on this stuff, very impressive. rice pudding, btw, totally rules.

― carly (carly), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:02 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I've ever had tapioca pudding. I love rice pudding, bread pudding and flan — don't make me choose. You can have all the chocolate pudding, I don't want any.

I'm sorry Mrs. G is gone — this thread needs Garu saying "I MADE A POO AN THEN A WEE IN ME GRAN'S FLAN."

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

This is difficult, and yet it is not really that difficult. Rice pudding at its best beats the competition.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

So many people are disgusted by tapioca. Fish eyeballs, etc.
That actually adds to its appeal. I can curl up on the sofa with my tapioca and croon to it "I'm you're ONLY friend..."

― Beth Parker, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

CHOCOLATE. it must be! I don't think I have tried tapioca, though.

BUBBLE TEA FANS REPRESENT! (Well, actually, I haven't tried it yet, but I know there are some fans around here.)

Of the selection given here I'd probably pick bread or chocolate pudding. But I intend to try making a hazelnut bavarian cream (I love love love toasted hazelnuts) some day.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

I love hazelnut. I hope you are inviting us all over.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

Chocolate but no VANILLA?

― What Are You, Fucking Nuts?, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

None. Banana pudding 4 life!

― Candicissima (candicissima), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

I can't decide between rice pudding or bread-and-butter pudding. They can both be so delicious. Comfort food for the broken hearted!

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Tapioca = frogspawn, obv

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

My mum always makes a lemon pudding in winter. It is amazing. It's better than anything listed in the thread title.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

what is bread and butter pudding pleeze? is it just bread pudding with extra butter or something?

sorry for forgetting vanilla pudding, vanilla pudding fan!!!!

mmm, tapioca. kozy shack tapioca is HEAVEN ON EARTH! (sorry for going on about the shack, but they DO rule.)

The competition is really heating up now! just as long as it doesn't heat up too much cuz then you will scorch your pot and get that skin on top of your pudding that some people hate!!! ahahaha. even the banana pudding fans have been heard from. they were feeling left out as usual.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

i could go for some lemon pudding, ronan. sounds delish. where do you stand on key lime pie?

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

No British people like tapioca due to getting frogspawn at school. I love it - cooked properly - and would not really eat anything else when I was five. Oh and I like the skin....

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

I have never had lime pie!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I love the pudding skin.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

flan is just fucking rubbish. why does anyone dig flan?

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna stand up for bread pudding...with rum sauce. Come to New Orleans and have some. You will never feel fuller. I had bread pudding French Toast at a brunch once...a gut buster.

― p.j. (Henry), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

nb, as we found out on I love cooking:

US bread pudding = UK bread and butter pudding

UK bread pudding = nummy bready, white dwarf in tummy style goodness

― Porkpie (porkpie), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

I had bread pudding (US style) for breakfast this morning - mmmmmm. Alas, no rum sauce. Just sweet, custardy goodness.

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Whiskey also makes a damn fine bread pudding sauce base.

― p.j. (Henry), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

Scott's order on the top is almost mine exactly:

1) most rice pudding
2) bread pudding (although I've head an amazing choco bread pudding which is definitely the best)
3) tapioca pudding
4) chocolate pudding
5) flan

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

Tapioca pudding, easy.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

i STILL haven't tried kozy shack's dulce de leche yet:

http://www.kozyshack.com/products/dulce.html

but i aim to rectify that situation real soon.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

Kozy Shack is the bomb btw. Although the much cheaper gener-o Trader Joes version is also great.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

was eating at the indian place here (yeah there's only one, which is unfortunate because the quality has dropped off over the last few years) and the owner, who's a friendly though sorta creepy guy, gave me some complimentary rice pudding. the pudding is killer. i was curious about the indian name for it so i asked him, "what do you call this?"
he says: "rice pudding." ha!

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

did you know that trader joes is owned by two of the richest men in germany? brothers karl & theo albrecht. worth around 25 billion dollars. and ladies, i hear that they are single.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

BREAD PUDDING.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

I have gone to restaurants just so I could have their bread pudding (US-style, presumably) or flan (Spanish-style, presumably). If forced to choose between them, I think I would explode.

The others are tasty, but not nearly as magical.

― mikef (mfleming), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Rice pudding.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

"I'm you're ONLY friend..."
I meant YOUR only friend. God! I never do that. See, the very thought of tapioca has made me regress to an illiterate phase.
The thing to do with tapioca is suck all the custard out so you have only the fish eyeballs in your mouth, and then bite them between your canines like an ape eating termites.

― Beth Parker, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

mmm.. rice pudding indian restaurant style, with saffron, is so good.

Have you made this? Cuz I'm def def gonna. 'Twill be the triumph of the week.

Have to substitute "cups" for real measurements such as "some", though.

― CEO OF MY LYFE (Upt0eleven), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:40 (sixteen years ago)

I made it last night...oh god is it ever good.

― O time thy pyramids (Abbott), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:42 (sixteen years ago)

made it w/out raisins tho bcz I hate raisins

― O time thy pyramids (Abbott), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:42 (sixteen years ago)

Does anyone else find it hilarious on sites like epicurious how all the comments are like "omg amazing recipe my family loved it, I substituted kale for the leeks and used sour cream instead of yogurt, added 3 tsp of cayenne pepper and halved the vinegar, and used chicken instead of pork, it was SO GOOD everyone should make this recipe 4 stars"

― O time thy pyramids (Abbott), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:45 (sixteen years ago)

i was coming here to post 'bread pudding by a mile' but you have upped the game abbott

*want*

― alien vs the smiths (country matters), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:49 (sixteen years ago)

I made Nigella Lawson's caramel croissant bread pudding and it was DIVINE. You caramelize the sugar, add in cream, and then put a shot of bourbon....like dying and going to heaven.

― musically, Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:54 (sixteen years ago)

If I am ever in possession of a packet of stale supermarket croissants I will remember this thread.

Abbot, I hate substitutors on recipe sites too.

― lacoste intolerant (suzy), Sunday, 13 September 2009 22:54 (sixteen years ago)

and I'm looking at that recipe above and if your bread pudding needs "sauce" then your bread pudding is not good enough. sticking a bunch of crap on it is necessary if you're using crappy bread and boring ingredients.

i bought pudding tonight for the first time in months. i must have smelled a thread revive.

― scott seward, Sunday, 13 September 2009 23:38 (sixteen years ago)

I totally want to make that bread pudding recipe.

I had some really good flan a couple weeks ago that reminded how great it can be if its not a watery mess.

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 14 September 2009 01:28 (sixteen years ago)

Hahah its the same on Taste.com.au - so many people are like "this recipe is amazing but I omitted [essential ingredient that is whole point of the recipe]" because I dont like it yuk!".

Or they say "This was lovely, but I added garlic and oregano and vegemite and cheese and tomato sauce and a little bit of chilli".

― Dearth Disco (Trayce), Monday, 14 September 2009 01:38 (sixteen years ago)

finally got rounding to making this a few days ago. does not look amazing I admit, but really does taste incredible.

I think kugel should be part of this FITE. I had two excellent sweet noodle kugels this week and they were wonderful and satisfying the same way that bread pudding is wonderful and satisfying.

I think I had my first bread pudding maybe two years ago? It's a staple (?) here so the woman who gave it, was shocked I'd never had it. It's really yummy.

Oh yum I love plums cooked up like that! And will always always always love bread pudding.

Thèse are all my favorite desserts.

I loved Spanish style flan as a kid and now I love Parisien style flan too, the kind that's more solid and has a crust. I had a Breton variety over the weekend, with prunes, that was between a flan and a bread pudding.

flan is remarkably easy to make tbh

― marcos, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 17:36 (eight years ago)

very simple

mix eggs, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla in a bowl
carmelize sugar in a skillet
get a baking dish, pour carmelized sugar liquid into it and spread it around, wait for it to cool and harden for a second
pour the egg/milk mixture into the baking dish
bake
chill

― marcos, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 17:38 (eight years ago)

flan's fine but it's a custard not a pudding (?), but i feel like butterscotch blows away other puddings

Peach cobbler question; ice cream or custard? It's basically a crumble, so could go with either? Recipes I've seen are all about the ice cream though?

― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 5 October 2017 10:17 (eight years ago)

Not sure what a cobbler is but I would always go for custard on a crumble.

― nate woolls, Thursday, 5 October 2017 10:24 (eight years ago)
