@ the coffee cake: Uh....that looks AMAZING....I'm hungry now...
@the cookbook: Okay, so I hardly ever cook at all but...I think I'd give some of those recipes a try just for the sake of the Narnia-ness.

If somebody has an idea for a Narnia comic that they weren't planning on making themselves, I <------ This offer still
would be so grateful if they would send it to me in a PM. I am running appallingly low on ideas...! <-- stands.

Perhaps if I make one that sounds very Narnian and tastes amazing, I’ll copy the recipe to the thread.

(exactly how many puddings are there and what exactly qualifies something to be a pudding anyway? Best I can figure is that it’s poured into a mold, baked, and holds its shape when taken out. Can someone more versed in English food explain?)
Pudding in the old sense of the word is a kind of cake with a thick sauce poured over it. I think eventually people started just making the thick sauce and that's what we call pudding now.
When my grandmother used to make Christmas pudding, it was a kind of cake cooked by steaming in jars with raisins and grated carrot and potato in the batter, and then served with a thick caramel sauce.
And then there's Yorkshire pudding which is basically a kind of bread that you pour gravy on.

Hm, so it's the sauce that makes the distinction between a cake and a pudding? Interesting. Thanks for the explanation, Swan! (Yorkshire pudding especially now makes way more sense in that light.)

I somehow missed this in May - May was crazy for me. Mrs Beeton is quite an old standard, I understand. And there's the Townsends channel on YouTube, where they do a lot of videos of 18th century recipes, if you're further interested in the history of cooking. They have a number of puddings, too. Then there's Mrs Crocombe / The Victorian Way series that the English Heritage channel does - with the warning that Mrs Crocombe was cooking in a large manor house, so their recipes aren't always your *everyday* Victorian recipes. Both are just about the wholesomest thing on YouTube these days, highly popular and highly recommended.

Cool! I’d say I’d have to check them out if I remember to, but I just know I’d forget.... -_-

So cool Ariel! I never really knew what a fool (in the food sense) was before

That's such a great way to celebrate HHB's birthday.
If you made a Narnian cook book, I would buy it.

I had no clue what it was either until I looked it up for this!
Heh, I’m flattered, but I’m so dependent on others’ recipes that none of them would be mine. It does make me curious about the Narnia cookbooks that are out there, though.

I wasn't familiar with it either at, Swanny.

I have the Narnia cookbook on Kindle and I could pass along any recipes if you wanted, Ariel. Those also look very tasty, Ariel!
