What is a Pudding?
The word pudding comes from the Latin word botellus, which means sausage. The British developed the Roman recipes and cooking methods for sausages and ended up with pudding - a very British invention.
Traditionally, puddings were boiled or steamed. Christmas pudding and sponge cake are examples of sweet puddings, while Steak and Kidney pudding is an example of a savory one. Yorkshire Pudding breaks the rules as England's favourite baked pudding.
