I’m on season 4 of the great british baking show and i still have nooo idea what british people think “pudding” is

Sometimes its a moist cake? Or its a pastry with meat inside? Is pudding just a slang term for “food” like in general

pudding usually just means dessert in Britain!

(there are some exceptions, like black pudding, which is blood sausage)

Then why…. does it sometimes… have beef in it?!?!?

  4. chokkilissa-nahollos said: I was always taught that an easy rule of thumb is that a “pudding” involves thickening as the main or a qualifying technique in the dish- Yorkshire pudding is a thickened batter baked in an oven, Christmas and suet etc sweet puddings are baked/inner sauces thickened by steam heat, and blood pudding is also thickened blood and spices stuffed and cooked in intestines. There could be outliers but my chefs & culinary teachers laid that one on me at some point

    Listen I hate to quibble over something so trivial but 1) “dessert course (and occasionally a savory thing like sausage)...

33 notes #and why do the judges quibble about whether it's really a pudding or a cake or whatever!!
