I know British use the word "pudding" for most desserts, but some of
the pudding recipes I've seen are, well, not for all tastes. Some of
them require A POUND or more of suet [I just had an arterial spasm as
I wrote the words]. I hope Madame Pomfrey has a coronary clearing spell.

There is a cookbook, "Of Lobscouse and Spotted Dog", written for the
fans of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels, with some of the most
extravagantly over the top horrendous stuff you ever heard of. Read it,
it's fun, and in some places the best horror book you've read all year.
