Hmm. Bread pudding for breakfast? Are there rules governing such things?
I can't find anything that specifically excludes it, there is something in the Resident's guide that mentions 'Traditional Full English Option' though.Might be as well if we just pop a few rashers of bacon and some sausages on top of it to be on the safe side.

woke up today and it feels like I've got some loose earwax in my right ear and it's really annoying me cos it makes noise every time it moves around.
One night I felt something run through my ear, leap on to my pillow and scurry away. From half asleep to Simon Templar instant awakedness took three milliseconds. I was out of bed, the light was on and Mrs C was startled into the same alert state as I was as I scoured the bed for the interloper. It was a ball of earwax less than two millimetres in diameter. Panic over and feeling foolish, it took me five minutes to calm down.Phew.

In my defence it was early. Stuff was blurry.

And two slices of fried bread pudding?Might be as well if we just pop a few rashers of bacon and some sausages on top of it to be on the safe side.

Incidentally, the specification appears quite relaxed on the fruit front. Sultanas, currants and raisins all permissible, dates optional.
An Optional Date?

Can't see that's going to hurt, bit of fried tomato might be nice as well to compliment the fruit.

My late mother in law's bread pudding had dates in it. Mine has sultanas and raisons on account of we had run of dried fruit completely but thinking to replenish the store cupboard I went ill prepared to buy ingreedyments. I didn't take a list and just bought the only stuff I could think of. When I returned and read the recipe it asked for mixed dried fruit with added peel. As I Mrs C doesn't relish mixed peel and I'd forgotten to but any it just has sultanas and raisons. And is none the worse for it in my opinion. It also said a tablespoon and a half of mixed spice. Thinking that was unlikely I added two teaspoonfuls. And again it doesn't seem to have suffered. All this says to me that bread pudding is a forgiving dish. Mine is a lot lighter than either my mother's or my grandmother's efforts. They were nice but heavy. And their puddings. My father didn't cook. Left to his own devices he could heat up a tin of something and brag about how little washing up he had made for himself. Incidentally, the specification appears quite relaxed on the fruit front. Sultanas, currants and raisins all permissible, dates optional.

Beware of Mrs B's bread pudding. The only time her finger nails are clean is when she's made bread pudding. Word to the wise and all that.
