I made a pumpkin pie, using a mixture of sugar, grated lemon zest and ground ginger as flavouring. It tasted like pineapple, we all thought it was much nicer than plain pumpkin pie.
I decided to try making a bread and butter pudding using brioche and marmalade, as suggested in a previous post. The flavour was fine but I did not like the mushy almost slimy texture. There were no nice crispy bits around the edge. I had to hunt hard to find my last jar of homemade marmalade, a reminder to buy some Seville oranges when they come in after Christmas. Nothing like homemade marmalade of any kind.
I always use brioche @Joyce Goldenlily. The trick is to assemble your marmalade sandwiches in yur dish and let the custard mixture soak in for at least half an hour before baking it and then bake till the tops gor crusty and golden. Delish.

A woman I used to know spent part of her childhood in a Japanese internment camp in the Far East during WW2 … (think Tenko) … her British father worked in the Far East before the war and she and her mother were staying with him when the Japanese invaded.
Even as an adult some 30+ years later if someone dropped some food, even a small crust, on the floor she would pounce on it and cram it in her mouth … she could not help herself … quite often afterwards she would sob uncontrollably … she said it would trigger such vivid memories.
Her father disappeared and she never saw him again. Her mother did not survive the camp.

OH loves old fashioned bread pudding, but I buy bread to make it! Rarely have stale bread to use up. I did have a friend tell me that she never made bubble and squeak as they never had left over potato or cabbage. That’s another ‘leftover food ‘ recipe that I buy ingredients for.
