    Americans can make custard with vanilla pudding mix, just use more liquid

    Hey Keef if you're in a dessert phase how about a seed cake? They're in the Hobbit.

    Which reminds me, I don't know if you're being funny on purpose when you do this (maybe that means it's sophisticated humor), but whenever you refer to one of these figures like Tolkien or Mr Heinz or the Colonel like they're your old schoolmates, that always tickles me, haha

    Ah, a school dinner classic 👍👍 Hard to believe now, but 25p a day got you a two course dinner. Some fun stuff (kidney curry springs to mind) but other dishes that I'd never have got to try otherwise
    Always enjoyed jam roly poly, so thanks Mr Keef

    Looks great Keef! I saw this and right away sent the link to my wife who’s excited for me to make it, so I’ll definitely rewatch in the process of making this. Thanks again Keef!

    I have never had roly-poly. I know that my grandmother, who began cooking as a little girl in the 1890s loved to make them. This was a real treat to watch. Total winner, Keef!

    Super! Would feature in rotation with all the other steamed puddings in Sunday Dinner (served at Noon and accompanied by family favourites on the Light Programme, unless Dad overrulled for Opera on the Third Programme).
