Rice pud?!?

Sunbird24 · 20/02/2026 19:34

Hooray for Friday!

God yes. That was a week!!

Sunbird24 · 20/02/2026 19:35

I’m predicting sweet arancini balls at least once…

Haha. Gemma is clueless about rice pud.

Just think of it as sweet risotto, Gem.

Edited

That was funny.

Don’t know why they have to lift a stupid big box to reveal the tin - they’ve all got the same anyway.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 20/02/2026 19:35

I want jam.and rice pudding!

Fransgran · 20/02/2026 19:35

I bloody LOVE rice pudding

EsmaCannonball · 20/02/2026 19:36

Rice pudding is horrible.

Sunbird24 · 20/02/2026 19:36

I like rice pudding as long as someone else takes the skin off the top

ilovesooty · 20/02/2026 19:36

Plenty of traditional Indian rice desserts.

Feck yes

TheDogsMother · 20/02/2026 19:37

Evening all from the plague house. Coughing my head off here so I’m very pleased it’s Friday.

RomainingCalm · 20/02/2026 19:37

Poor Gemma, this is so not her task.

I hate rice pudding though. Could she make me a tiramisu instead please?

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 20/02/2026 19:37

He better do a lovely saffron kashmiri rice pudding.

EsmaCannonball · 20/02/2026 19:37

I have horrible memories of school dinner rice pudding. That and the pink custard.

ShamedBySiri · 20/02/2026 19:38

I suppose sticking the rice pud in the oven for an hour or however long it normally takes and then adding a dollop of something fruity/jammy won't cut it?

ilovesooty · 20/02/2026 19:38

I liked pink custard.

PotterHead1985 · 20/02/2026 19:38

Or semolina (salmonella!!) Or tapioca puddings.

bungobungobungo · 20/02/2026 19:38

Not a fan of rice pud!

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 20/02/2026 19:39

Chef patron of a burger van?

No a dead fancy bbq place!!

I liked them too. And sago.

Halsall · 20/02/2026 19:39

My mum’s rice pudding was divine. She cooked it in the oven for hours and it was lovely and creamy. I never liked the skin, though.

@PotterHead1985 thanks for this I was trying to remember semolina the other day but couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of it.
