For about $10 I can get this at the local supermarket.

I do and I don't want to know what Spotted Dick Pudding is.

I have a mix of emergency foods: some canned for convenience, some freeze-dried also for convenience. I never pay retail. One thing I always try to do is never put anything but clean water in my cooking pot. I hate wasting water washing, sterilizing.

OK, I just plain hate washing dishes.

And ironing. I hate that even more.

I will make the bed occasionally--under duress.

Thanks for all the good info and photos, Am_Fear. I didn't know you were in the UK.

I've decided, I definitely don't want to know what Spotted Dick Pudding is even if it's loaded with calories and nutrition. ;-)
