That reminds me of school dinners in England in the 1950s. Rice pudding almost every day and it was awful but not as bad as semolina pudding but at least semolina pudding was not as bad as sago pudding but worst of all was tapioca pudding. No wonder that we had a school dinner strike and refused to eat it!

My mother use to make it for our breakfast before packing us off to school. I also learnt to make it from here and now, every once in awhile I make it for myself. Couple of Christmases ago I made a return trip to Pakistan to meet up with my old school chums and was introduced to 'suji halwa'. Never came across it whilst growing up out there. We also had a porridge made of suji, again it was a favourite of ours. Mother always roasted the suji before turning it into porridge or halwa. Now I am drooling. Suji here, in Uk is semolina. Her semolina is made into a pudding, yuck, more like a white sticky gloop used to sticking up large advertising posters, not a patch on the suji halwa. Wilfred
