Generally on bread baking day, the farmers’ wives would bake a large tinful of this pudding in the wall oven and keep it for the family’s Saturday dinner.  Saturday morning was usually taken up with cleaning the house and they did not have time to prepare a cooked mid-day meal.

Dear Sarah

Of course! The information is here for you to use as you see fit. It'd be great if you could mention that it came from our Social History archives, but you don't have to - hope your talk goes well.

Best wishes
