Ah, the Goodies! I was always more of a Monty Python fan myself. I was thinking of 'Ripping Yarns'.

"The black pudding was so black even the white bits were black!"

I had an uncle with Scottish background who used to always fry up black pudding with his bacon and eggs. I used to quite like it. I tried it with the kids a couple of times. They quite liked it, too, but it never really caught on.

Love porridge and fuel stoves! My grandfather used to cook porridge on the fuel stove much as described by Zondrae. He also used to boil the milk for the porridge and let it stand until the cream set on the top which he would scrape off and have on his toast and jam.
I used to buy and sell fuel stoves years ago and there was always a demand for them. Don't know about now but right up until at least the eighties there was a store in Sydney that sold the old fashioned style "Dover" brand of stoves.
I had a collection of fuel stove oven doors and some of them were really decorative and intriguing.
Stephen you may know that it is claimed that the regular consumption of oatmeal (porridge) reduces diabetes.

Yes, I have heard that, Vic.
