I want to tell you how a little adventure in my modest kitchen led to a sure-fire entrepreneurial idea that cannot fail.
It all started when I got an unexpected urge to try my hand at making a home-made rice pudding. The pudding turned out quite well, and I mentioned my achievement to several people, who all commented that their favourite thing about rice pudding was the skin. This got me thinking.
I went back to my modest kitchen and conducted an experiment. I found that I could continually remove the skin from the pudding, and the pudding would continually form a new one. Bingo.
Production should be straight forward, but packaging and marketing might take some thinking about.
I have decided on a change of direction and now intend to sell my idea, rather than pursue it myself. I am presently in negotiations with the market leader in this type of product, and I have reason to be quite optimistic that in the very near future you will see “Ambrosia Pudding Pelts” on the shelves of all the major supermarkets.
I think the greatest satisfaction in this is proving my granddad wrong. When I was little, he often used to say that I couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.
I remember that saying too Harbal…lots of sayings like that are disappearing… bit like you will be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute…I never understood that one…
.it stopped me laughing though
I agree the best part of a rice pudding is the skin and the burnt bits around the edge if its oven baked are scrumptious too
It’s a sort of insult that is usually said more jokingly than offensively. To tell someone they couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding, is a way of saying that they are physically puny.
