Not while The Lighthouse Family existed....😨

The Evil Overlord and his minions 🤣

Bold of you to assume he can read...

I've heard that the "pudding" in black/blood pudding derives from "boudin", a French word for sausage. It sounds a bit like pudding, I suppose, and I can see it getting mangled into that by non French speakers.

This always makes me smile!

Reminds me of how confused I got reading a fantasy book, where the wizard protagonist described his enemy as having his hands covered in something that "looked like black pudding". Took me a few minutes to realise he meant that custardy stuff that Americans call pudding and not blood sausage....

There are certainly people who call if afters though. It may be partly regional too - I mean, you can walk half a mile down the street in this country and that changes what they call a bread roll 🙃

Not fighting, just providing a contradictory data point. There are indeed people who call it afters, but I don't think it's quite as clear-cut as rich/working class. I suspect regional differences are also involved.

My family is not rich. We've always called it pudding.

As a Brit, I've always wondered what it is that happens to fruitcake in America that apparently renders it inedible.... 🤣

Oh lovely! Not a happy birdie, but beautiful just the same!

So delicate! They almost look like tiny parachutes more than wings!
