Since this'll be my first official pie day, I'll honor it traditionally with a sugarless cherry pie.

Now that disapointed me. I was bought up on Bacon Pud but it was nothing like this. Bacon and Pork Stuffing meat rolled into a Suet Pastry roll and steamed for hours. Didn't need anything else except the veg and I haven't had it for years. After WWll over here most food was in short supply so you made the most of any meat that you managed to aquire. That Suet Pastry went into a lot of things- Or rather around it- and Treacle pudding- Jam roly poly and the best of all Spotted dick.

Wish I hadn't started this thread now- I am starving again.
