As an official redneck resident of Los Angeles, whatever that is, I present my favorite desert.

I think that your basic bread pudding would qualify. Take some leftover bread, butter, eggs, milk, and raisins and you're ready to go.

From my grandfather who was part hillbilly, part redneck:

Take a slice of white bread and pour some canned milk (sweetened condensed milk will do just fine) over it. Then, you eat it with a spoon.

We used to have this all the time when I was a kid at my grandparents that and rice (cooked of course) with milk and sugar. I think they were depression era treats.

Bread pudding is one of my all-time favorite desserts. It goes back way before the Depression, though--one of my cookbooks places it somewhere around the 13th century.

But you're not far off as far as its meaning--it used to be called "poor man's pudding". Add eggs, raisins, almonds, maybe an apple...

I like mine served wtih a bourbon sauce.

The result is an incredibly rich and dense custard - I have never been able to eat more than 2 bites.

There's a variation on this--Mexican leche quemada; essentially adds sugar and cooks to soft-ball candy stage. Optionally adds nuts or chocolate.

I think there's a Columbian desert very much like that with nuts and fruit. Very Tasty!

Very good with apples.

Yeah, I suppose I am. But why, when traveling through northern Georgia, do I see signs for "boiled peanuts"? There aren't any beaches there!

Back in my home town, dessert = Dairy Queen cone, preferably chocolate-dipped.
