Artbrooks: the gastronomic companion to Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels is "Lobscouse & Spotted Dog," authored by Anned Grossman and Lisa Thomas (W.W. Norton & Company 1997). This fine cookbook lists such wonders as Pig's Fry, Sucking Pig, Frumenty, Jam Roly-Poly, Bashed Neeps (or Neeps Hackit with Balmagowry), not to mention Treacle Dowdy and Figgy Dowdy, there's also Plum-Duff, Dog's Nose, Floating Archipelago, Whipt Syllabub, and the ever tasty Forcemeat Balls ...
Surprised nobody has mentioned Jam, Chip, or mushy pea butties ...
and for us 'Mericans ... Moon Pies ...
Meanwhile back to dessert and Goosebery Fool or Quaking Pudding ...
Cheers,
Brian
