Pud In A Mug? Yes. Keep ‘Em If You Can. *hollow laugh*

A few weeks ago now we were asked if we’d like to try the new Pud In A Mug range. I’ll be honest – I said we’d give it a go (because, y’know. Pud. IN a mug.), but my hopes were not high.

Where they were...

Steak with rocket, grana padano and balsamic glaze

When I was sent some amazing aged Grana Padano I knew without question exactly what I was going to do with it.
