Hi All,
 
Ali usefully said:
>>> Pudding can be savoury or sweet. We would be very unlikely to get
confused, as the puddings are well known. For instance, Black Pudding is
like a sausage made of blood. Please don't ask me why anyone would want
to eat it; I'm vegetarian, and the concept revolts me, but people often
have it with a traditional "Full English Breakfast". Then there is Steak
and Kidney Pudding, which is also savoury. As the name suggests, it's
steak and kidney. It's cooked in suet pastry, in a pudding basin. <<<
 
I'll less usefully reply:
Oh, that is torture. I'm veggie too (since 1984) but I still miss foods
like that. My mum would often serve black pudding for breakfast (don't
believe Ali, it is gorgeous, really strong taste with chewy lumps of fat
in). And mum's steak and kidney pudding was absolutely the best
foodstuff I have ever eaten. I'm on a diet at the moment so I cannot
even go off and raid the chocolate biscuits to stop the drooling.
 
Cheers,
 
Dumbledad.
 
PS I do Delia's Christmas pudding every year
http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/r_0000001234.asp Don't believe Delia,
it is worth doing it early at the beginning of November and letting it
mature. It's great with brandy butter and rum sauce, and of course you
should poor brandy over it and set fire to it as you bring it to the
table.
