Yes, but only in areas populated with Brits. Anywhere else, a sausage is a sausage NEVER A pudding. As I said , a very strange use of the language.

You lot insist on calling the 1st floor of a building the ground floor and the next floor UP the 1st floor.
Anywhere else in the world, the ground floor IS THE FIRST FLOOR.

Yes but we got there first same as driving on the left side of the road .:slight_smile:

Steak and Kidney pudding, Leek pudding, Groaty pudding, Berkshire Bacon pudding, Derrby Savory pudding, Mrs Banyards , Bacon pudding, Yorkshire pudding, Pease pudding, Liver Pudding, many savory not sweet puddings around and very old recipies

.Great for colder climate, and to fill empty bellies on a budget.

Yep, but that is NOT a pie. It is a casserole. A pie, a real pie, has a bottom crust, and sometimes a top crust.

A meat pie always has a crust. It’s not a dessert, mind you, but it is sort of a pie. A real pie is baked in a dish/pan with sloping sides, a tart in a pan with vertical sides.

Indeed … :023:

“Brits” spoke English first and the rest of the world copied and, frequently, corrupted it … :wink:

Strange use of the language. According to UJ a chocolate cake is a pudding. Anywhere outside the U.K., if you ask a real chef to make a pudding, he/she will make a dessert made of milk/cream, eggs, sugar and some wide variety of flavoring. Thus, you are served a cold, thickened, sweet dessert, like: chocolate pudding, rice pudding, vanilla pudding, butterscotch pudding, etc. etc.

Yorkshire “pudding” , sometimes served with roast beef, or prime rib, is about as far from a pudding as you can get.

In any event, I don’t wish to argue about it. If you lot want to call a bouillabaisse a salad, that’s fine with me. :smiley:

When it’s served as a first course, with gravy, it’s still a pudding … :smiley:

……. deleted

Whatever you say, I don’t want to argue about it. If you want to call a breakfast cereal a pudding that’s ok with me

It’s all pie in the sky for me.:mrgreen:

If one eats a ‘chocolate brownie’ after a main meal, is that not a ‘pudding’???

Puddings are the new Wheaties, and a great way to fill up on raw fruits, veggies, and proteins to start your day.

Obviously an American idea, because we don’t have Wheaties in UK supermarkets … :102:

Not only NO ! But, HELL NO. I never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life.:shock:

Next you’re going to tell me that ice cream is actually a vegetable.:twisted:

Americans are strange, over this side of the ‘pond’ one can eat a main meal and have a chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce as a ‘pudding’.

Ok, I thought this thread was about pies. Who cares if different countries say things different.
The whole point is sharing.:lol:

Yes that is definitely pudding. Although I’d prefer it with some whipped cream or ice cream! :slight_smile:
