Subject: RE: BS: dessert and more dessert
I don't suppose that you colonial types have ever encountered tinned Ambrosia rice pudding, or Ambrosia creamed rice as it's sometimes known. As far as I'm concerned, it's the finest thing that has ever come out of a tin. Open the tin, grab a spoon and eat it from the tin. All of it. Just you. Or waste precious minutes to warm it up (not necessary in m'humble, and it dirties a pan). If you do warm it up, add a blob of jam to it. Any jam. A tin of Ambrosia was invented for men who get home from the pub after six pints, who search the food cupboard for what they want but what the missus hasn't bought, until they see the tin of Ambrosia rice pudding. When you're a bit pissed, the disposal of an empty can (bury it under other rubbish in the kitchen bin) and the washing-up of a single dessert spoon is just what you need in order to remove all risk of the possible detection the next morning of your midnight profligacy ( though you will have to urgently replace the tin of rice pudding as soon as possible). Unlike toast, or eggs on toast, or beans on toast, or cheese on toast (the ideal), there's no lingering smell. Failing that, you could eat about ten custard creams...
By the way, I'm proud to announce that Ambrosia is made less than twenty miles away from my house...
