Pudding: More Than Just Dessert!

The word “pudding” can mean very different things in British and American English.

In British English, “pudding” can mean dessert in general, but it can also refer to a particular type of dish. Some traditional British puddings are sweet, such as Christmas pudding and sticky toffee pudding. However, there are also savoury puddings, such as Yorkshire pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Even black pudding, a traditional British food made with blood and other ingredients, is savoury. Christmas pudding is a traditional British Christmas dessert made with dried fruit, spices and other ingredients, and it is usually steamed for several hours.

In American English, “pudding” usually means a soft, creamy, sweet dessert, such as chocolate pudding or vanilla pudding. It has a custard-like texture and is normally eaten with a spoon.

So, if an American says, “I had pudding for dessert,” they probably mean a creamy sweet dessert. If a Brit says, “What’s for pudding?”, they simply mean “What’s for dessert?
