Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

My mum bless her heart wasn’t the best cook in the world but she kept us fed and happy.

On the day she decided that we were going to have bread pudding the excitement level throughout the house hit the roof. She was a master at cooking bread pudding, I haven’t tasted one that could hold a candle to hers in all my years of life. She was unrivalled when cooking this.

The smell as the cooking wafted through the house, and the impatience of everyone awaiting the oven door opening was intense to say the least.

And then there it was sitting on the kitchen table in its golden crispy glory. Rarely did it last that long to even venture into getting cold. Mum had done it again, created a culinary masterpiece.

Boy do I miss that, and every time I see bread pudding I get transported back to my childhood. But as of yet I’ve never tasted one as good as mums.

Mums the word.

Peace all.
