Made it in a kettle and they couldn't get it out

Just because I'm curious:

[Poll #1545633]

This was brought to you following a promotional visit from some Mueller people to our office, dishing out free raspberry Mueller rice, and the discovery that a colleague of mine has never eaten rice pud and had no idea what it was like.

I'm boggling at the thought of someone having never had rice pudding. Of course, I'm not sure that the Mueller rice is the way to start cos it should be Proper Baked rice pud with a skin on top, but it's pretty nice stuff.

For some reason which I'm not going to state on an unlocked post because it is very strange, I think it is odd to make rice pudding with rice milk. But it tastes fine, so that's the important thing.

Yes, I was really confused by the idea someone had never had it. Been put off at an early age and never had it since, fine - but never?

Rice pudding with rice milk seems reasonable if you don't do dairy stuff. I've been recommended making it with coconut milk, too - which sounds yummy if not cooking for people with coconut issues :)

Do people have coconut issues? I've never heard of anyone being allergic to coconut.

AIUIBIANAD it's not a very common allergen (also not a nut from that POV), but some people can't readily digest it. Don't know the mechanism - too rich, perhaps?

I have at least one person on my flist who is. I was surprised when I found out - hence remembering it - because she thinks it goes hand in hand with being allergic to pineapple; I am also allergic to pineapple but absolutely fine with coconut, and I cannot think of anything they have in common (apart from a pina colada). Pineapple and kiwi as an allergic pairing makes sense, as they both have actinidain (as does mango, which I am also allergic to, and papaya, which I have never tried and never will!).

I've heard similar as well, though not tried it myself :-). Remind me, is the milk the high fat part? Might make good ice cream if so.

Coconut milk is so high fat that even the half-fat version you can buy is way over the acceptable level for someone on a low-cholesterol diet.

Probably why it's yummy :)

I think I've got a can in the cupboard, that I can't eat due to dieting :) I should see if anyone else wants it. Probably not worth trying to post halfway across the country though.

I've never tried it - it looks icky! :)
