For some reason I used to heat it up, but for ages, I've only wanted it cold, goes straight in the fridge. Currently with the ethyl acetate and the milk. And when I've been in hospital and eaten, on a ward, rice pudding is usually the most palatable option for their pseudofood. But they serve it hot, and it just ISN'T RIGHT.
I actually like a really cheap one that tesco do, theres loads of the liquid that in more expensive ones, is only a thin layer on the top. This is cheap and they skimp on the rice, which for some reason falls to the bottom, coagulates and becomes stiffer in texture. About 27p a can IIRC, compared to £1-£1.05 a can, and I actually like it BETTER lol. I won't complain too much about that.
I love home-made flapjack though, thats great stuff. Cheap as it gets to make really, and very filling. My uncle especially likes those, and I always make him some at xmas, this year, the next day when my old man called round, he'd scarfed down the entire batch
I like adding a bit of treacle to the golden syrup when I make them for myself, and using not just powdered ginger, but grated fresh ginger root, added to the melted butter and sugar just before stirring in everything else, the treacle gives it a lovely bonfire toffee kind of flavour whilst fresh ginger works a treat to give it some fiery kick. Candied chunks of ginger are good too, but rather hard not to eat as many as your putting in the batch of flapjacks.
