    A Bit disappointed with this. Very stodgy and even though I followed the recipe to the letter, the family found it bland. Don't think I'll be making this one again.

    I used day old French stitck, which meant the top was lovely and crispy. Used sausages and sun dried tomato, also added bit if paprika and mustard powder to the liquid mixture. Made a yummy lunch.

    Didn't enjoy this one bit. Soggy, bland and not very appetising at all. Won't be making again.

    Absolutely rank! Would not recommend at all. I love bread and butter pudding but this savoury take on it is just wrong.
