357fuzzWho Here Likes Rice Pudding?
My dad used to make it at night and put in the fridge to cool overnight. In the morning he would sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on it. Those were the best breakfasts ever.
Thank you for bringing back some good memories. And... making me hungry.

GregYOnce had a gf, who otherwise couldn't cook, make me rice pudding. Apparently her mother's recipe.
Very sweet, very creamy, lots of cinnamon. It was heavenly.
Never found rice pudding quite like that, or anywhere near as good, again.

vinnybassNo. No rice pudding. No bread pudding. No tapioca. I was poor once. I am poor no longer.

At my house growing up (near your neck of the woods, I believe) it had everything to do with it. Mom had a knack for filling us up the cheapest way she could. That stuck with me on these items & I still equate the taste of them to the hard life of being poor. It's just me, YMMV.

zoom6zoomI often enjoy those same things that we ate as kids because it was what we could afford. Ya gotta remember where you came from, it makes you appreciate what you've accomplished. As we say down here.... "Don't get above your raisin' "
And it would appear that in this thread we have discovered another SigForum corollary... that you can ruin almost anything by adding raisins.

We had NO money growing up and there were 7 of us kids, so we ate a lot of hamburger and bean based dishes but I still eat them, because I like them.
