I like Bread pudding or sometimes as poor mans Christmas Cake, but for reason can't come at Bread and Butter Pudding. I think it may be the custard?

A nice variation, add currents, makes a poor mans Spotted Dick.

Reminds me, when I was at boarding school in South Africa (11 yo) I contracted Chicken Pox and I was instantly nicknamed Spotted Dick (don't know how they could see it, I was in sick bay for two weeks!)

This is pretty much my geandmotgers recipe only she used milk instead of cream and stale bread, she always said the bread needed to be a few days old

We always used stale bread, just soaked it in water squeezed it all out? and added whatever dried fruit and peel with rum, scotch (no white spirit) etc as added flavouring then sprinkling a little over the top when cooked.

Virtually the same thing, The Pudding is Baked the Dick is Steamed (If your unlucky?)

You made me remember I sailed with a cook when I made this on board, and he asked what I was doing and when I told hime he said his old man who was a Grey funnel line cook made it, five minutes he came up and told me I was making it wrong, needless to say what I told was more colourful than the fruit in the puddung?
