WIKI NOTE: Jam Roly-Poly, Shirt-Sleeve Pudding, Dead Man's Arm, or Dead Man's Leg is a traditional British pudding probably first created in the early 19th century. It is a flat-rolled suet pudding, which is then spread with jam and rolled up, similar to a "Swiss Roll", then steamed or baked. In days past, Jam Roly-Poly was also known as shirt-sleeve pudding, because it was often steamed and served in an old shirt-sleeve, leading to the nicknames "Dead Man's Arm" and "Dead Man's Leg".
***Piononos are prepared using a dough made of flour, eggs, and sugar, which is based on a thin sheet cake and then rolled around a filling of dulce de leche sometimes with walnuts, or fruits like strawberries with chantilly cream, or in the case of savory piononos with York ham, cheese, tomato, and mayonnaise, or a savory salad, such as ham salad with asparagus and lettuce, chicken salad or even tuna.
