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.

The best savoury pie I have ever had was in a tiny village pub just off the A 10 between Cambridge and King's Lynn. Pheasant, Boar and Venison. The best cup of tea to finish up. Now, if only I could find my way back again.

Back to just after WWll again but my grandfather had a licence to keep ONE pig on his allotment in London. It was the only pig that had 8 legs and I never found out where he kept the other one- and neither did the authoritys. But he used to make the most fantastic Black pudding I have ever tasted. And I am not a great lover of Pork. After the war meat was rationed but I also had an Uncle with a Pig farm in Norfolk. He used to make the most fantastic "Home Cured" Bacon from his personal supply that never got to the market.

Now that most definitely shows your NON English heritage. It is called Black Pudding over here.Why it is called pudding- I don't know but made from Pigs Blood collected as slaughtered on the farm and the bits of Fat and gristle you would not normally want to eat. Eaten on its own-as a sausage- or best fried as part of an English Breakfast.

Just checked my calendar today. I'm scheduled to ride a century on the 3rd Saturday in September - IN MY CAR.
For the last several years I have sagged a century ride and Sept 17 is the day so that's what I'll be doing. Through the years I've fixed a few flats, repaired one broken shift cable, and shuttled a bunch of riders so I guess that I'm one of the people who make it work. Alas, no pie at the lunch stop.

Thanks, all, for the history lesson and opportunity to laugh at myself.
I really, truly, cross my heart had not thought about March cycling weather in much of the world. And I still have faint scars from hitting unexpected ice one day in Illinois.
Sign me up for the 17th. A neighbor make totally killer Buttermilk Pie. I'll try to recruit him to the cause.
