SC - Re: Bara Brith - epilogue

[Vicki Strassburg Eldredge]

Good Elysant,

What you said about school rang a far distant bell with me, so I went and checked
my copy of American Woman Cookbook circa 1941. Voila! According to it, pudding
spice is:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

I think I like your mom's version as it would use less of the cinnamon. But of
course the bell it was ringing was the poem. I didn't find *it*!
