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?!?!?

ahh i thought you were talking about them using it as a general term, which i guess wouldn’t make sense in a baking competition.

where i lived, pudding often just meant the dessert course (and occasionally a savory thing like sausage) in regular conversation

if you’re speaking technically, though, pudding refers to anything that is steamed in a cloth, basin, or intestinal tract.

Listen I hate to quibble over something so trivial but 1) “dessert course (and occasionally a savory thing like sausage) ” encompasses pretty much every food group imaginable and 2) on gbbs they made something called “yorkshire pudding” which was like a light pastry with meat in it and of which air pockets were apparently an important element (??) AND they also called chocolate lava cakes “"self saucing pudding” (??!?🚨) and these were both baked in the oven normally so my thesis that “pudding” is a meaningless food category/ british people just play absolute culinary calvinball on pbs stands imo
