Subject: Looking for Martha Washington Pie (not a round pie)
In the late 40s- early 50s (in Lake Charles, LA) there was a bakery in the black section
of town near the train station that we used to get what they called Martha Washington Pie
at. It was like a pumpkin or sweet potato real thick bread pudding that they cut into
large squares. I have searched the Internet, but have found nothing comparable. Could you
please help me find some kind of a recipe for it?
Eternally grateful,
Sandi

Phaedrus,
I am looking for 'Mr. Tissots Christmas Pudding' that appeared in a Betty Crocker
Sphere Magazine in the mid 1970s. Mr. Tissot gave the recipe for his pudding along
with Brandy Butter that Elizabeth Taylor liked. I believe that this was served to
the Queen. If I remember correctly, Mr. Tissot came out of retirement to help make
the pudding at Christmas for Fortnum & Mason.
The recipe contained beer, stout, ale, brandy, and I'm not sure how many more types
of alcohol. It had to age in the refrigerator for two weeks prior to boiling.
The recipe contained suet, raisins (currents possibly), and I don't remember how many
more types of dried fruit. It was long and complicated. But the results were great.
Can you help find the recipe? I looked in your archives and could not find it.
Thanks,
Jan
Hello Jan,
See below. Mr. Tissot's brandy butter and rum custard sauce recipes were not provided.
I was unable to locate his recipes, but there are other brandy butter and rum custard
sauce recipes on the web.

Someone has been searching the site for the Penguin Point breaded pork tenderloin sandwich recipe.
Penguin Point is an Indiana restaurant chain that began in Warsaw, Indiana in 1950. They're also
noted for their chicken and for their "Big Wally" sandwich. I had no success locating the Penguin
Point restaurant's tenderloin sandwich recipe, but here are some others.
Midwestern Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless pork loin
1 cup flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 large sandwich buns
Directions:
1. Cut 4 1-inch slices of pork. Trim any exterior fat from edges and butterfly each slice by
cutting horizontally through the middle almost to the edge so that the halves are connected by
only a think piece of meat. Put each butterflied slice between pieces of plastic wrap. Using a
wooden meat mallet, or the side of a cleaver, pound vigorously until the slice is about 10 inches
across. Mix together flour, cornmeal, salt and black pepper.
2. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a deep, wide skillet to 365 degrees F. Dip each slice of pork in water,
then in flour mixture. Fry tenderloin, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about
5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels and season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Serve on buns with desired condiments (mustard, mayonnaise, dill pickle chips, ketchup,
sliced onion, lettuce).
