The Australian definition of pudding is rather different from the American. It's more along the lines of a cake -- i.e., something that is baked in the oven. From what I gather, it is specific, unlike the British meaning along the lines of "dessert."
Or boiled. The thing called plum pudding or Christmas pudding is boiled.
ReplyDeleteHow do people in the USA understand the term - is it closer to the British of any dessert?
