Oranges and Lemons: the rhyme and the pudding
2010-Jan-17, Sunday 22:21K, this evening, I decided to make a steam pudding, and due to a rather dried out orange, it ended up being a lemon and orange steam pudding.
Which got us talking.
amazing_holly isn't that familiar with the rhyme and, as is usual,
miss_s_b seems to know a completely different version to me, which is again different to the ones I've found online (and neither of us can remember the exact lyrics we knew as a kid anyway).
I've found several online sources, best two seem to be Wikipedia and rhymes.org.uk, which also has the alternate London Bells nursery rhyme. However, none of these mention the Bell of St Stephen's, which Jennie swears blind was in the version she knew as a kid.
Can anyone else remember St Stephen's being mentioned? It's very likely it's not the Bell of St Stephen's (ie Big Ben) anyway, but...
Oh, wait, the pudding? You want a recipe? Oh go on then...
( Easiest and quickest pudding mix ever )
Nom nom nom.
