If you can't have any puddling without eating your meat, what happens if your
pudding does, in fact, contain meat?
How Bunny and I came to be discussing pudding during lunch is lost to me, but
we did. In particular, we were discussing what the British call “pudding,”
which is entirely unlike what we Yanks call “pudding.” Over on the other side
of the pond, the Brits have Yorkshire pudding, a baked bread product, blood
pudding, which is in fact a sausage made of blood, and plum pudding which, of
course, has no plums what-so-ever in it.
Savory, sweet, boiled, baked or steamed, is there anything the British won't
call “puddling?”
But apparantly, there is some method in their madness, and in this article at
Atlas Obscura [1] they go into depth of what a British pudding is, using
jelly fish (of all things) as the metaphor. Weird, but it works.
