I know it defined the '50s. Commercial frozen foods, like Swanson's

I am fond of the instant vanilla pudding, 'nilla wafers & sliced
bananas, topped with freshly whiped cream and i vaguely recall me mum
using butterscotch pudding in the same way, but not familiar with using
peaches, however i occasionally purchase an Asian cake mix that uses the
canned peaches, place on top and bottom of the cake pan, so i end up
with a rice flour cake with peaches on the bottom and top.

There was a Roman Emperor who dined on frozen mastodon in the 100's c.e.
(iirc) dug up in the far northern high mountains and frozen for
thousands of years. Solzhenitsy talks about something similar in his
"Gulag Archipelago" an event in the gulag in the 1920's or 30's iirc

You can make a decent trifle with vanilla pudding too.

I remember from my childhood - Bake a pie shell then pour in Jello
chocolate pudding (the kind you cook, not instant). And...chocolate pie once
it cools. I still make this occasionally.

What you're describing is known in the southern states as "banana pudding"
I never understood the attraction but hey, if you like it, go for it!

Jeffrey Steingarten searched for the earliest back-of-the-box recipe.
He found a recipe from 1802 for macaroni and cheese printed on a
sheet of paper used to wrap bundles of dried pasta.

It's a very interesting article -- "Back of the Box" from The Man Who
Ate Everything.

You just didn't knw. One of my most recent downloads to my Kindle is an
Armour brochure in whichthey tell you how to use their myriad products, from
raw ham to canned soup, to make life easier. The date is 1911.

I am becoming more and more interested in food history, not sure if thats
part of the aging process or my curiosity is getting the better of me, lol,

No, REAL Southern banana pudding is baked with a meringue on top. The type
with whipped cream is a Yankee bastardization. If you use instant pudding to
make the concoction described above, then calling it "banana pudding"
identifies you as incestuous trailer trash ("but hey, if you like it, go for
it!")

Alton Brown gives good recipes for each type:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats...ing/index.html

Note that neither recipe calls for instant pudding. That would be because
instant pudding is revolting ****.

Bob

i agree there are two types, but the south where i grew up had whipped cream
not mernge, that was for pie only, instant or scratch its all good, Lee

and the bananas have to be the correct stage of ripeness.....too green
and they don't have much flavor, too ripe and they turn brown in the
pudding, or black around the edges...blech.

Good Southern 'nanner puddin' is a miracle of creamy goodness and
vanilla wafery treatness. It was a great treat as a child and I
haven't made one for years.
