Well, we always had it as a separate 'starter' at my Yorkshire grandma's...cooked in the coal-fired range oven in individual tins about about 6" diameter, then filled with gravy. Extra ones could be left to cool and then eaten as a dessert, filled with 'Golden Syrup'.

She was a Yorkshire farmer's daughter and certainly knew how to cook traditional grub.

She also raised 6 kids, the last of which she gave birth to at age 49. She lived til 87 yrs.
