What do you think of our bird's nest pudding?

We are having guests arrive tomorrow (Friday) and they are staying two nights. They used to live nearby but have now moved to the city to be nearer their grandchildren. On Saturday, we’re going to an afternoon concert in a small, decommissioned church. We have made a chicken and mushroom casserole so we will only have to cook rice and green beans when we get home. For dessert, we’ve made a bird’s nest pudding. This was inspired by DKM (@Corbin5). It was quite an involved recipe and took most of the afternoon to cook but doesn’t it look scrumptious? I think there might be leftovers too which would be nice.

We had to cook a pastry shell and the apples first then combine them, pour over the batter and cook the whole lot some more.

Haha. I'm not sure it's a really good name for it. You can have birds nest soup at Chinese restaurants here.

@piyushbhatia1 I love Chinese food but here it's sort of 'westernised' Chinese.

I am trying from yesterday to reply to your following comment on the post "No Mail from Ireland) "Thanks for the good wishes. It's a shame but in the big picture, it isn't a big deal. He tried to send it and I've seen it so all is well." I can only read the post if I am not logged in, that should confirm that some accounts have problems because they are stored in BAD servers I hope you can get your Birthday card.

@JudyEv Nom there is nothing we can do, time by time some posts (or profiles) gets errors and this is something that only the owner of the site can fix discussing with a tech guy who knows precisely what to do.

There are some strange errors for sure. I don't really understand. Are you saying if I change something, it would be better?

@LadyDuck It did take us most of an afternoon to make. I doubt we'll make it very often.

It actually took quite a long time to cook and was quite involved but it looked impressive at the end.

@fluffy69 It wasn't really hard to prepare but did take quite a lot of time. The pastry case and apples had to be cooked first then it was all assembled and you cooked it some more.

I've never heard of birds nest pudding but I have heard of birds nest soup, which I believe is made from actual birds nests.

The 'nests' are cored apples. There is a pastry base, then the apples are stuffed with berries and cooked in the pastry with a cake batter around them.
