Nigella is Flo from bad boy bubby
Cannot believe this is a recipe. This has been done since the beginning of bread. Use old bread and fresh milk. Cold or warm. We use yogurt or milk, also with cornbread. We don’t add sugar or salt (though why not if you like?). It’s all poor man’s food from back in the day. Good it’s being shared.
Really good but my brother died because it was too soggy
we made ours with farm cream and milk topped with Jam or Jelly (chokecherry was my favorite
It’s called goody my kids when they were babys loved it
If You have Fresh Challah Bread, this recipe is even Better. All “eggy” and definitely either way enough for two. The warmed Bread, I recommend, and milk sweetened with the Castor sugar,Superfine Sugar here in States, Is Fabulous.Nigella’s Mum prepared this for Her girls as was told…

Fantastic. My dad always would break up bread in a glass and pour cold milk over it as a snack.
My mother was from IA and used to make this for us. She referred to it as the poor man’s dessert. She grew up during the depression and this is what they ate. I haven’t eaten it in years but I know what I’m having after “supper” tonight.
He didn’t warm up the milk. He ate it cold. I thought it was weird the first time he was making it…. but it tasted delicious when I tried it as a kid! I wish I could have some now but I get really sick with bad migraines when I drink milk now. 🙁
Anyway, it tastes soooo good! Make sure you use the softest, freshest white bread and put enough sugar in it according to your desired sweetness… if you put to little sugar in it though, it doesn’t taste so good. Very sweet is the best way to make it.
My dad was from Yugoslavia and they used to eat that… no Cherrios for them when they were kids… they ate Po-pa-rah… that’s what he called it: Popara.
Soooo delicious! An ancient recipe for sure!
