With sweet potato and ground beef. What an experience!

I loosely remember the taste of that pudding from old school ORP's I have eaten way back. It always tasted a bit "weird" to me because I was not real sure what Treacle was! I seem to recall the pudding not tasting like much but having the consistency of a lump of dense bread.

Oooh nice! There was a story about treacle pudding in WW2 compo rats.

"Dividing the contents of two compo packs into scrupulously equal portions for the thirty-three bodies in a full-strength platoon was no task for ordinary men. Because my non-commissioned officers were fully aware of this, it was impossible to pawn the distribution off on Sergeant Bates or even on a committee consisting of my three section corporals. Their sense of self-preservation was too keen. As Bates frankly told me: "No bloody way you can please all those sons a bitches, and you short one of them on his treacle pudding and he'll likely shoot you in the back!" - Farley Mowat

Finally tucked into one of these that you sent up. In the words of George Takei: Oh my!

That was really quite good. I microwaved it, mixing it up as I went. I was expecting it to be much more like mollasses, but that was quite a bit more sweet than I was anticipating. Same sort of bread pudding as the other brit desserts, which is quite dense and not amazing by itself. Mixed in with the treacle syrup, it was a dream. Well worth blowing through the last bit of calories for the day, haha. Glad I was ahead on protein before I had this.
