I'm sorry to take so long to reply - we're SO busy right now with pre Christmas orders that spare time just simply does not exist. I was so tired tonight that we even cheated and ordered take-away.... !<br /><br />Michael - lovely to see you joining us. I've followed you too. I'm surprised you've never had Clootie Dumpling before being from Scotland ... but then again, it is not so common these days. A lot of butchers sell it for frying alongside sausages !<br /><br />Ananda - yes - Oliver was not so patient. He just wanted to eat raisins, stir the mix and make a mess. He loves cooking and hates waiting. lol<br /><br />Anne - cor - yes - lovely fried or toasted... It didn't last long enough for that. No wonder Scots have such an astonishingly high rate of heart disease !<br /><br />Eve - I know you are :-) I'm always amazed at how many customers come on the phone to order or in the shop and ask after him. He seems to have a massive blog following ! One customer (Diane - thank you..) even brought him a little truck a few weeks ago. Bless. He is a good boy. x<br /><br />Pam - thougt it might make an interesting blog entry as it's something that is so rarely seen or made these days. Real shame.<br /><br />I don't know all the song - but it does go <br /><br />" A Lump of lead the size of my head, stir up the dumpling"<br /><br />Basically - once it's mixed and cooked in the cloth, it's a real heavy solid thing (and pretty much the size of a head come to think of it.)<br /><br />We're going back up to Scotland for Christmas and staying a bit longer next time.Sarah-Jane - SiliconeMoulds.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477461201547435976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195843603568991929.post-9815391788632206342010-11-10T17:46:31.178-08:002010-11-10T17:46:31.178-08:00Sarah, I've never heard of this but it sounds ...Sarah, I've never heard of this but it sounds delicious! I loved loved the video with Oliver and Nanny. Loved hearing the English accents and her talking to Oliver. What was the little song she started singing at the end? Amazing with grandmother's cloth!

He basically ended up having two birthdays (one here and one up at Nanny's).<br /><br />I haven't had clootie dumpling for years. We lost my grandmother at 92years old about 4 years ago now. I think it must be going on 15 > 20 years since our family last made dumpling .... :shock: My mum has resurected the birthday tradition for Oliver. Would be a shame for something like this to end up lost forever if everyone stopped making them.Sarah-Jane - SiliconeMoulds.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477461201547435976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195843603568991929.post-27140269115670408432010-11-04T23:18:50.437-07:002010-11-04T23:18:50.437-07:00The dumpling is so interesting Sarah!
