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

Just because I'm curious:

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.

We used to have it at school with rosehip syrup. (Does that still exist?) Which, if you mixed it in, made it look like one of the more exciting kinds of sick. Not that that put me off in any way.

I like the suggestions of cardamom above, I'll have to give that a go. It's commonly used in Indian milky puds, so I should have thought of it myself really.

We used to have it at school with red syrup. I don't think it involved fruit, I think it was just made of red.

We did used to drink (diluted) rosehip syrup at home, though. Where, because it was sold as suitable for small persons, it was always known as "baby juice".

Yes. I have half a plan to make chai masala rice pudding, as they're basically the same thing but one substitutes rice for tea.

Actually, now I come to think of it, you could probably do a great shrikhand/amrakhand style rice pudding, too...

I presume you mean substituting milk for tea, and keeping the rice?

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

No, and yes. What I mean is that both masala chai and rice pudding are based around milk, sugar, and spices. So I'd just add tea to rice pudding.

Now I'm reminded of my grandma's yorkshire puddings cooked with raisins in for afters, served with raspberry vinegar.

You can certainly get Rosehip in the Netherlands. Lisa loves it.
