Pudding Review - Dr Oetker Lemon Pud in a Mug

When Darrell and Nigel were Poundshop shopping in The Homeland last week  Darrell made a considered purchase of two packets of Dr Oetker lemon flavour Pud in A Mug (2 for £1), thinking that they might make an interesting Microwave Pudding Review.

And on their return to The Towers Nigel, naturally,  was a most willing assistant in their testing.

NB:- for all those concerned for Darrell’s diet, all “SYNS” were accounted for during this review and no Darrell’s weight loss was not in any way hindered.

Worth a punt? An Irish punt? I don't think so.

Well there's an idea; a pudding in a mug! Is it possible a microwave that has a 600mph setting was just too much for something in a mug? Live and learn but there will be another time!..Best loving wishes, Dianne

I'll avoid that then - only Yorkshire Gold goes in my mug from now on. JantheFan x
