I was just looking for a recipe for B&B pudding that was a bit out of the ordinary,but I am more intrigued by your question about soggy bread and would like to offer the following suggestions a) yes, bread was much harder ( milling was not as fine then) and they didn't throw the stale bits away b) before dentistry many people would lose their teeth at some stage due to decay, accident, old age etc and chewing became difficult c) it was a traditional baby food to introduce children to solids - and maybe some people retained a life long love of it and finally d) food is as much about texture as it is about taste and some people like that sloppy, goopy, combination!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40321224046891403882008-06-04T23:02:00.000+10:002008-06-04T23:02:00.000+10:00thanks Lysy - pannetone in trifle sounds delicious...thanks Lysy - pannetone in trifle sounds delicious - will keep this in mind and will keep trying some different bread and butter puddingsJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40182711310085544452008-06-04T06:04:00.000+10:002008-06-04T06:04:00.000+10:00Your dream version does sound delicious - I think ...Your dream version does sound delicious - I think you should keep trying (though the interim version sounds very good too)!

It's just yet another way to make use of old bread and NOT throwing it away (I've had some of that problem this week as we've had a sudden heat wave and the bread went roock hard overnight - but I had some nice tomatoes and panzanella is a nice salade recipe for warm weather)<BR/>You can make savory versions ofyour Bread and Butter pudding as well, with cheese and cherry tomatoes, for instance.spacedlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462723005560128474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-79603629719896989262008-05-29T23:51:00.000+10:002008-05-29T23:51:00.000+10:00have you tried a savoury version? we have one on o...have you tried a savoury version? we have one on our site. yours looks delicious.beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128812845273224940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-74148782039398951892008-05-29T22:40:00.000+10:002008-05-29T22:40:00.000+10:00I really want to like bread pudding (I mean I love...I really want to like bread pudding (I mean I love bread and I love custardy stuff) but I haven't tried one I really liked.

I'm planning on a eggless version of an English "Summer Pudding" for part of my next challenge with Lysy of Munchkin Mail. Bread puddings always me think of French Toast, just in a casserole form. <BR/><BR/>After looking at your recipe I'd be happy with a bowl of the condensed milk, berries and chocolate chips!
