It was still served in Salford primary schools some 8 years ago, i doubt that it still doesn't do the rounds, as well as coloured custard

Is the banana addition a Salford thing(what with it being the exotic bit) because I assumed it was a standard until I googled it.

We're talking Salford, man, bananas are to damn expensive

Yes mods, I did just make a post which I promptly deleted

I'm Shouting Langworthy R'd Primary 2004, and the dinner lady that cooked it was Salford Lancashire, would spit before saying Manchester, and she told me this is how you make the fecking tart, no sodding bananas

Never seen this tart before but the banana hybrid sounds good!

Best we got in south Yorkshire or Humberside as it was then was pink custard and chocolate sponge and tbh 6 yr olds dont need much more.

Although the plain sponge with jam and coconut topping was pretty special as well!!

Used to enjoy going camping with cubs and scouts as the mother of the scout leader made the most wicked treacle tart with crumble on as well, i know a lot of the boys used to go camping just for the tart lol.

I like jam on puddings but thats as fruity as it gets, I think cooking fruit (other than making jam) is the 11th sin and should not be tolerated anywhere in the universe. For claritys sake uncooked fruit on puddings is tolerable but not to be rejoiced over other than at a banoffee pie festival. I am stoutly anti cherry on top when it comes to bakewell tart, this info needs to go on my CV asap!!!

can you guys still get those cakes in a can

I have just stewed some apples, (+ a loose pear), added cinnamon, ginger and then covered it in crumble mix with a little demerara sugar on top.

You may sue at will.

For the lack of a puking smiley this is the best I can do, I just dont understand cooked fruit and never will.

Teacher's note on Kaiser's use of smileys report:
Could do better

Now that is what I had in my minds eye!

Friggin cooked fruit, just thinking it makes me feel loose. Cant seem to find an good smiley for that ethier.....

Sadly yes, I think we are indeed missing a loose stool smiley
Either of these would do though

You can get steamed sponge puddings in cans...treacle - which is a mysnomer, as it's actually golden syrup which isn't the same as treacle at all - jam or chocolate. But I don't know of any canned cakes.
