Tonks:

It seems to me that 'pudding' in the UK is something that uses flour 
and is not sweet. If you are eating it with gravy, it is not a desert, 
it is, IMO, a bread like substance because it uses flour and water and 
is not sweet.  Pudding in the U.S. has milk and sugar and flavoring 
such as chocolate and something to thicken it, but not flour. It is 
sweet and like, as someone else said, a custard. Or think of it as 
somewhat like a cross between custard and Jello. Not in taste, but in 
texture. Sometimes it has egg in it, maybe.. I am not a cook. Most 
pudding these days come in a little cup, one serving, already made or 
in a can. I too like the ones that we use to make on the stove and let 
the milk get stalded a bit and then put in the Fridge to chill. And 
when you took it out it had that little thick film on the top, that was 
the best part. Yum..
