Pudding is a yummy and popular dessert or snack. It usually tastes sweet and comes in many different flavors. The most common kind of pudding is chocolate. You can also find flavors like vanilla, butterscotch, banana, and pistachio.
Most puddings today are made from milk, sugar, flavorings, and flour. Sometimes, eggs are used too. If you don't want to make pudding from scratch, you can buy it ready-made at the grocery store. In the United States, Jell-O is a very well-known brand that makes pudding.
What is Pudding?
In Britain, the word "pudding" can mean almost any dessert. This often includes desserts made with flour and eggs. These puddings are usually cooked by steaming, boiling, or baking. Examples include treacle pudding or chocolate pudding. There are also milk puddings like rice pudding or semolina pudding.
Savory Puddings
It can be a bit confusing, but some puddings are not sweet at all! For example, "steak and kidney pudding" is a savory (not sweet) dish. It's similar to "steak and kidney pie" but has a softer pastry. Another famous savory pudding is Haggis from Scotland.
