"I thought treacle pudding was one of the made-up
dishes! What's it like? A heavy bread or Boiled pudding,
or more like creme brulee or flan?"<br><br>All, or
maybe almost all, of the food on the dinner tables has
been real. It is the sweets and drinks that seem to be
made up.<br><br>Treacle pudding is a combination of
syrup and sponge cake (roughly speaking). Sorry do not
seem to have a recipe to hand..<br><br>..but the
powers of then internet gives us the following link to
Steamed Syrup Sponge Pudding which is probably about the
right
thing!<br><br><a href=http://www.somerfield.co.uk/cookery/cookery18.asp
