Pudding for breakfast? I am a child of the 70s, when rice pudding with the only dessert we ever ate at home. My mum made it in the traditional English way - rice, sugar, milk, and a sprinkle of nutmeg, baked in the oven. That nutmeggy skin was definitely a love/hate element (sadly, I was in the second camp). I can't believe it's taken us around 200 years to revise rice pudding into something rather more suited to the Australian climate. Chilled coconut rice pudding for breakfast is a perfect example of traditional English fare updated for the modern Australian palate.
