here we go squeezeweasel, hardly a PC recipe these days but be brave and give it a try.

BACON PUDDING

Something my grandmother used to make, I am told after the second world war you could get bacon scraps cheaply . Without doubt one of my favourite recipes......does contain a few calories not to mention a lot of fat........but nevertheless wonderful freshly cooked with mashed potato and mashed swede and a dark brown gravy. Whatsmore even better the following day sliced and fried for breakfast..

Make a regular Atora suet pastry ( not too sticky) add the water slowly to get a firm dough ball. Roll out flat ( about 3-8 of an inch thick ) Cover the surface with rindless bacon rashers of your choice ( or bacon bits) Cover the bacon with lots of sliced onion Salt and White pepper.

Roll the suet and the bacon onions into a "swiss roll" inside a tea towel , nice and tight and tie the ends off with string ( like a big christmas cracker) Dunk in a pan of boiling-simmering water for about 1.52 hours. ( you will need a big pan to cover the bacon pudding ) Remove and slice. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it !

Certainly this is a culinary example of 2+2 = 5
