Found the recipe for Drowned Baby:

One cup of stemmed raisins, one cup of sweet milk, three-quarters of a cup of chopped suet, one-half cup of molasses, two cups of flour, one-half teaspoon of soda, two eggs, a little salt. Steam one and a half hours in a covered dish.

WTH is it with the Brits and their creepy food names? No wonder their empire collapsed.

Yorkshire pudding doesn’t sound too bad.

I’ve wondered if I could attempt it, since our motto on the farm is “Give us this day our daily beef ...”

Even if their empire collapsed, they gave the world some excellent beef cattle — Herefords, Shorthorns and Angus (if you can include a Scottish breed)

I wouldn't say that. Albion's seed has sprouted on two continents in the form of four separate countries - the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Added together, these territories are almost 50% larger than the Russian behemoth. For these countries, England will always be the Mother Country, and the Union Jack a welcome sight.
