it's interesting to read what I posted 13 years ago -

I'm a savoury fan, not a sweet-tooth so my desserts are fruit - especially a fresh date or 2, yummy on their own, but sheer luxury covered with double cream, yum.
or strawberries, sultanas, fresh grapes, ripe pineapple, custard apples, kiwi fruit ...
Several weeks back I volunteered at a conference where the dinner finished with a small portion of rice pudding - barely sugared, with a slice of cooked apple & a few nuts on top - YUM! The organisers had over-catered so while we were cleaning up we had a few more, bliss! Then the next morning the remaining puds were brought out for morning tea, yum yum yum
One of our local vegan takeaway food shops makes a delicious black rice pud, with a layer of barely sugared white custard on top. fortunately I don't often pass their shop, or I'd be living on this heavenly pud.
===============
hmmmm, I haven't had fresh dates for a long time, nor have I had the black rice pudding, must add them to the next grocery list.

dinner last night was finished by the last of the cherries I froze a few months ago at the end of cherry season.
