I've just got to have some soon, so thanks for reminding me.<br />I'm not trying to stir up animosity between France and Italy but I'm wondering where this dish originated. I've read through Nigella's recipe and if you take out the lemon and add some caramel then it's pretty much identical to the gâteau de riz recipe that I scribbled down in Normandy many, many years ago.

Not for me as I was fed that much rice pud as a child I don't eat it now, would probably try it though in cake form.

I belong to the latter category. Rice pudding was one of the few desserts available during the War (that's the second one, not the the first as you probably suspected) and I was hungry for five years. Even so, my mother had to promise every tiny fragment of skin had been removed, before I would pick up a spoon. Another problem is that skin enthusiasts feel it necessary to tell me how much they enjoy it as if they imagined that their enthusiasm were transferable. None seem to realise how close their shoes come to being engulfed in... fill in the rest according to preference.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
