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..
