|description=Another historic recipe for using up stale bread
}}

Another historic recipe for using up stale bread. Unlike bread pudding, with which this is sometimes confused, this is better made with stale white bread. This tangy version is quite a bit richer than the frugal original, probably [[Mrs Beeton's bread and butter pudding]].

3/5 

Not a fan of this I'm afraid. Nasty stuff, made worse by custard!
