I believe that the Romans ate mice, but even during the
darkest hours of wartime rationing we never had to eat
them!

Ann - I think perhaps you mean a pudding we call 'mousse',
which is a French word for a sort of pudding made with cream.

I serve up a lot of puddings here (in England) because my
family demands them, but mostly they ask for Jam Roly-Poly
or Spotted Dick - both of which are puddings made with suet.
