Oooo! oooo! I wanna be post number one! I adore C. Howards Violet 
Mints and Scented Gum. Yum.


Seriously, from what this American understands, "pudding" in England 
means any dessert, including a sweet pudding like sticky toffee 
pudding. "A" pudding, however, can be boiled, baked or baked. It can 
be sweet or savory(Yorkshire pudding, black pudding). 

The American cornstarch-based pudding is also "a" pudding 
or "pudding" itself. But it's not to be confused with one of my 
favorite Mark Twain stories, "Puddin'Head Wilson", whose lead 
character was neither "a" pudding or "pudding".
