[Food] Sussex Pond Pudding

Change at Barnham · Nov 10, 2020

I'm 59 years old and have lived in Sussex all my life.
I've never heard of tonights challenge on Great British Bake Off to cook a Sussex Pond Pudding.

Has anyone heard of it before tonight?

Yes, but can't remember the recipe.

I'd heard of it, but I've never eaten one.

Same.

Looked it up - remembered the theory, but can't remember tasting it. Have seen it in pub lunch menus though, in the last twenty years or so.

It's delicious, if you like that sort of thing. Relatively easy to make too, surprised these bakers cocked it up, although TBF, I don't think they had that long to steam it.

Same here - seen it on a few menus but not something that really appeals to me

Looks and sounds grim. Seen it on pub menus but never given it much thought.

The taste of Rottingdean Pond.

Interesting. When did you sample that?

Giraffe · Nov 10, 2020

Heard of it but never eaten it. Steamed pudding really doesn’t sound very nice. Not my cup of tea at all but I’d give it a go if it was plonked in front of me. Especially by the sadly departed Lottie.

Yes it's very very nice and obviously quite bad for you with all the sugar.

The lemon sort of explodes and you get an amazing lemon sauce.

I’m surprised that either the Albion or Dirty European Champions allow such an unhealthy food item onto their menus.

Weststander · Nov 11, 2020

Looks gorgeous, it’ll go down nicely with piping hot custard. I’ll have to make one for my family.

LamieRobertson · Nov 11, 2020

Never heard of it

Nitram · Nov 11, 2020

I knew what it was but have never eaten it. Will try making it during the lockdown.

I’d heard of it, I knew it was a steamed pudding with some fruit in the middle but I’d never tasted it.

However, I have made a Jamie Oliver version which is chocolate with an orange in the middle; it’s absolutely amazing, especially at Christmas.
