To think no one seems to know what ground rice is?!!!!

[SlB09]

So I LOVE a ground rice pudding, ground rice biscuits etc but whenever I mention this or someone sees me eating eat they literally have never heard of it! I'm from N Yorkshire, it is a regional thing?!!! I just thought it was a 'thing', seems not!!!

It is a thing!!
Bloody love ground rice pudding!
It was a childhood staple in the 70’s! Delish.

Lancashire & Yorkshire here.

I grew up in Wimbledon and we had it, in fact my mother used it to make a wonderful smooth custard. But for some reason she said it was too expensive to use regularly for that.

I'm from West Yorks and I know what it is.

Wouldn't eat it, but I know what it is!

You mean like rice flour? I've never heard of these delicacies!

North Yorks - a lovely pud!

Sounds like it may be like baby rice? (Do people still feed that?)

Love it. I love semolina too.

You need to tell us what it is OP.

I ate some today, it's a traditional dessert in OH culture

I buy it on Amazon, can't find it in any of the Supermarkets round here (SE London)
I use it for ground rice pudding and also when making Shortbread where you add it to the dry mix

Can you explain how it's made? What are the ingredients?

I used it to make dosa, chakli and phirni which I think is probably the most similar to what you call ground rice pudding but usually has cardamom, saffron, rose water etc

We have an Asian wholesalers locally and I get big bags from there

Well this is exciting

Have to confess I thought they were the same so had a google.

Ground rice is from the rice grain. Semolina is from the wheat grain. Semolina is the one that has gluten.

As kid I spent a few months in a hospital ward where where the puddings at dinnertime were a regular rotation of rice pudding, flaked rice pudding, and ground rice pudding. So I know very, very well what ground rice pudding is 😐

The only bright spot in the whole system was that they stuck to rice-based milk puddings, and didn't expect us to eat tapioca pudding, semolina pudding or macaroni pudding.

Breakfast was porridge, though, which is basically oat pudding.

And is this the standard British version?

Flaked rice pudding, @MiaFeysImprobableBosom ?

What's that?

This is the best Sunday night ever.

It's very much a 70s thing, like tapioca (yum) sago (hmm) and semolina (bleurgh)

And now costs a bloody fortune as it's sold mostly as gluten free.

It's rice pudding, but rather than whole polished rice grains, I think it's made with squashed rice grains, a bit like rolled oats maybe? It's quicker to make than ordinary rice pudding, but not as unpleasantly mealy-textured as ground rice pudding.

IMO, of course.

Flaked Rice Pudding

So pretty 😍

Never heard of it, I’m in North Yorkshire

Quicker than whole rice, mostly and very sticky and slimy without the unctuousness of ground rice.

It's very much something my mum would buy circa 1979.

Wow. Life-changing stuff. I would have homemade rice pudding every day for breakfast if it didn't take so long to cook.

Thank you very much!
