A school dinner mass catering challenge would be excellent but I suspect some of the rum characters they get on this would never pass an enhanced DBS check.

EsmaCannonball · 20/02/2026 19:41

No, Marcus. 'Don't put bay leaf in your rice pudding' was the full sentence.

Sunbird24 · 20/02/2026 19:41

@bungobungobungo i had a similar moment with Colchester yesterday, somebody had to get on Google to help me!

I liked them too. And sago.

Me too. I dont want any of this fancy shite.
There's an icecream parlour in Seaham that does rice pudding ice cream. Oh my.life!

ShamedBySiri · 20/02/2026 19:42

Looked like Gemma was making pastry??!!

ShamedBySiri · 20/02/2026 19:43

They have warned her....

Make it about the rice pudding....

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.

Same. I hated the skin. MammyPotter loved it. So she got mine. She hated tapioca and semolina tho!

littlbrowndog · 20/02/2026 19:43

We had dark chocolate ice cream with peppercorns in Cambodia.

i still remember how great it was

Did he shave off all his body hair to become more aerodynamic?

Do not go there

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 20/02/2026 19:44

My mum made terrible rice pudding! You could slice it like a cake. 😁
What happened to his hair?

Fransgran · 20/02/2026 19:44

Disappointed that Obergruppenfuhrer Chris isn't doing Milchreis

PotterHead1985 · 20/02/2026 19:45

Chris puts the jam ON TOP of his rice pudding????!

ShamedBySiri · 20/02/2026 19:46

PotterHead1985 · 20/02/2026 19:38

Or semolina (salmonella!!) Or tapioca puddings.

I used to fill my hanky with it and throw it away after. Except the time I left a hanky full of chocolate semolina in my pocket so when Mum went through my pockets before putting it in the wash she got a handful of chocolate semolina! 😂

We had frogspawn at school 😖

Sago was nice, though, with jam. All of this would be incomprehensible to young'uns now!

We do that put jam on rice pudding then stir it through

Sunbird24 · 20/02/2026 19:46

I’m disappointed that Gemma didn’t take my arancini idea

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 20/02/2026 19:46

He's gonna get a detention if doesn't stop running

EsmaCannonball · 20/02/2026 19:46

Cycling through a red light aggressively 'It's not rice pudding and raspberry jam, you pedestrian bastards! It's rice pudding and raspberry mole!'

I put mine in the bottom so it was a surprise

STOP PUTTING SAVOURY HERBS IN PUDDINGS!

PotterHead1985 · 20/02/2026 19:49

Welp they weren't fans of Irish's

Halsall · 20/02/2026 19:49

That looks strangely like his fish dish of the other day…
