Delmonico comes into the kitchen all grumbly and bleary eyed and with his shirt tail stickin' out and a little round band-aid can be seen near the top of his pants on his left,,,,,,,,cheek.
He crumbles the dried bread in a bowl, adds a large 4 finger and thumb pinch of baking soda. He mixes in a handful of brown sugar some grated lemon zest and a large pinch of ground clove. He then adds the suet, the raisins and 3 beaten eggs. When this is mixed he adds enough milk to make it soft and sticky.
He then puts most of it in a puddin' mould and puts the mould in a irun kettle with a lid, and adds a inch of water to the kettle puts on the lid, the kettle is put on the stove to steam the puddin' for several hours.
He then slams the kitchen door before anyone can see what he dis with the rest of the mix.
When he opens the door again there are two kettles steamin' on the stove.
