I think I would have to be very hungry to attempt the next recipe from 'Davis Dainty Dishes'! Luckily it doesn't use pineapple so I don't feel at all tempted! Anne

My Nana used to make a noodle pudding, kind-of like rice pudding, but pasta based (obviously). None of us really liked it that much. but I think it probably tasted nicer than Sweet Napoli looks...
ReplyDeleteThe macaroni is such an odd touch, but we should probably be thankful the recipe didn't call for it to be set in the jelly too. I'm tempted by the idea of macaroni pudding, despite Kylie's warning. I keep seeing mentions of Pineapple Cheese Casserole as a vintage American Thanksgiving 'side' dish: another combination that I have trouble imagining!
