Advantages: Yummy!

Disadvantages: Baaaad!

On my recent visit to Graceland in Memphis, I picked up a tacky postcard, which gave Elvis's favourite pudding recipe.
Now, it's really bad for you - so don't sue me if you die of a heart attack, but it tastes really yummy and I think thet you should try it - just once.

So, you need:-4 bananas
8 eggs (!)
2 1/2 cups of sugar (you see what I mean?)
6 cups of milk (ha!)
2 tablespoons vanilla flavouring
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large box of vanilla wafers
Anyway...here goes - Separate eggs. Mix milk, corn starch, egg yolks, sugar and butter, cook on low heat until thick. Add vanilla and cool.
Line a 9x3 inch pan with wafers. Put sliced bananas on top. Pour on the cooled pudding.
Topping - beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon of sugar until thick. Pour over pudding and bake in moderate oven for 10 mins.

I bought the vanilla wafers in America, so I don't know what I'd use here. It sounds quite bogging but I think that stale bread might work a la' bread and butter pudding, because you're making it the same way with a custard at the beginning. I'd also recommend using vanilla pods in the milk and removing them afterwards.
If you're using bread then don't top it with the meringue stuff, but more soaked bread and sprinkle muscovado sugar and cinnamon on top , placing it under the grill for a wee while.
Well, you'll probably puke, but enjoy!
