Directions
Scarborough Fair – Savoury Bacon, Onion and Herb Bread Pudding, I named this dish after my home town, Scarborough, in the North of England – and yes, they really do have a Scarborough Fayre every year! And, this recipe does contain parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme ! This is a very old recipe for savoury bread pudding – often served before the meal, just as Yorkshire Pudding used to be, to take the edge of your appetite & stop you eating too much meat! I added the bacon, but normally it is just made with pounded stale bread mixed with herbs, chives or onions, eggs and any dripping that was available A delicious savoury dish – serve it with lashings of onion gravy as a light supper, brunch or lunch dish, or as an appetiser, also with gravy This makes a wonderful accompaniment to roast pork and roast chicken I have also been known to eat slices of this cold & it’s ideal for picnics Don’t throw your crusts away, but process them in a food mixer and freeze them in zip-lock bags voila, ready made bread crumbs!
