Carol:
But do they contain pig's blood? I thought that's what black pudding
was: blood sausage, and not a pudding in either the American sense (a
creamy, custardy kind of dessert) or the British sense (a general term
for dessert).

A small cake with raisins sounds okay, as long as the cake is made of
flour, sugar, shortening, eggs, and other standard ingredients.

Carol, who can't tell from Geoff's description whether the cakes are
delicious or barely edible
