Q. What puddings are currently fashionable?

T.S., Polzeath, Cornwall A. One easy-to-assemble pudding which has been popular in house-parties this summer is quality vanilla ice-cream thawed sufficiently to permit the introduction of some Jordan's Original Crunch maple and pecan toasted oat-cluster cereal The proportions are roughly a fisocul of Crunch per 500m1 ice-cream. The mirture is then refrozen and served when needed. The toartral result is superior to brown-bread ice-cream.
