I grew up with Bread and Butter Pudding Melech. T'was a great favourite of mine (only other thing we could afford was choclate dropping covered old boot...and they were expensive ...you had to buy a pair and a left one nearly kicked my sister when she took more than her fair share)
Still those were the days ....LOL..and it was a treat.
