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.
Same here. I buy a loaf a week (muli-seeded) that suits our weekend breakfast sandwiches and the odd toast during the week, so rarely make it anymore.
It started when I was a kid and we had a bakery near our infant school that used to make it with icing on top and call it Scotch Pudding.
Bubble and squeak was my wife's favourite on Boxing Day....
@steveTu, pick up a loaf from the reduced shelf! I am not going to mention the ‘Scotch pudding’ to OH! He would love that, he is of the opinion that most cakes / pastries are greatly enhanced by a drizzle of icing on top. Even requested that I put icing on my home made rock cakes.
He would have loved us Ergates - we had a thing when the kids were younger that we made each other birthday cakes - largely driven by me and the kids so my wife didn't have to worry about it. Icing everywhere.
dove from above if it had marshmallows it was more likely sweet potato casserole
Wargarden you do not know everything … you are wrong on this occasion.
It was pumpkin pie with marshmallow topping. It was served as a dessert by my friend Rachel who was married to a USAF Major from an old Texan family. It was her mother in law’s recipe that she’d given Rachel when she married her son. Rachel was from Maine. Rachel made it every year for Thanksgiving. She was well-known among the officers’ wives on the airbase for serving it … an invitation to one of her Thanksgiving suppers was considered a prize indeed.
I have had sweet potatoes served with marshmallows at the homes of other American friends.

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.
I used brioche, marmalade, and assembled it exactly as you suggested and I still prefer proper bread and butter pudding using stale bread.
We never have stale bread @Joyce Goldenlily but brioche is big in Belgium where we lived for 25 years and the Vendée where we now live so seems to be the obvious thing to use. I've never had B&B pud anywhere but at home so can't compare.
When I do make bread, it's multicereal with loads of seeds added so not suitable for B&B pudding anyway. The only bread I buy is multicereal baguettes with added chia for OH's sandwich when he's out playing golf.
