Thoughts and Words by Joshua Alan Sturgill


THE WEEKLY MACHEN

A Real Roly-Poly Pudding: In the true jam roll or—to call it by its honest old name—roly-poly pudding, the jam is an essential part of the whole, like the ornament in Gothic architecture. It has its place between each encircling roll of suet crust; it is cooked with the crust; it bubbles out rejoicing from the folds of crust when the knife touches it. This is the roly-poly pudding that helped to make us Britons and gave us the might to beat Boney down.
