After introducing an American friend of ours to 'Yorkshire Pudding', and him being astounded to find it wasn't sweet, we got talking about other puddings that aren't really. Steak and Kidney Pudding Then as David is in a bread making mood (and making me really hungry) I got to thinking how many 'cakes' are not really cakes either... Stotty Cakes Feel free to add more... |

Morning June, Hope you had a great birthday. We got on about the 'pudding' thing over the weekend, and it's none the wonder some people get confused... |
