Sticky toffee pudding now stands astride the nation, from John O’Groats to Lands End. It’s everywhere. But it’s the grey squirrel of desserts. It’s victory has come at a terrible price, namely the wiping out of other desserts.
When did you last see a spotted dick or a jam roly poly? Or anything with suet? Or even a sponge that wasn’t bloody sticky toffee?
Don't get me wrong, I like the sticky toffee, but I’ve been to places where it’s the only dessert on the menu.
So what lost desserts need to come back? Is it even time for BLANCMANCHE to return??
