Any guesses for what the word underneath 'kiddies' might be?

I grew up on that sort of stodge. Of course we all know better now but Atora was used in loads of things. I hate to say it but it was actually delicious. My father used to do beef stew with dumplings and they were fabulous. And here's me with my ridiculously low cholesterol levels after growing up on what was a very high starch/high fat diet. Unfortunately it probably killed my father.  (But he did smoke as well) |

I think it's probably 'every', incs. Although I've been trying to think of more entertaining words  |

I can actually imagine that they might be: just that my initial gag reflex, combined with the sort of devious "use it to sneak fat into people's diets" thing really unsettles me. "Every"
Right. Why didn't I think of that? |

We didn't have it at home, but it was staple school food, and my grandmother made huge suet puds stuffed with plums and sugar. Yes, it was delicious. |

If we ask martle very nicely, he will give full details of Sussex Pond Pudding.

In the days when those puddings were the rage, there was far less fat in most children's diets, and virtually no convenience foods other than tinned - and they were mainly fruit and veg: there were few houses with central heating, and the winters were considerably colder. Kids got far more exercise, too. By six I was walking to school - a mile each way, quite often by myself, come to think of it. There was far less meat, and more veg. - particularly potatoes, though probably more often boiled and mashed than chipped. No burgers, no pizzas, no sweet things full of hydrogenated fats, far less chocolate: even with a big helping of such a pudding a day, the average child would have comsumed less fat than his modern counterpart, and burned rather more of it off. Obesity then was far less prevalent. Taken in its correct context, that ad's not quite as far from dietary requirements as might at first appear.

Quite so, Ron. My own early experience could be described in pretty much the same terms.
