The New Thread About Nothing

Blamanche is a little too set up to be pudding but Angels Delight looks about right and sounds exactly like instant pudding, interesting.

[MissCheyenne]

Angel delight is awesome. Perfect pudding for when you're feeling lazy as it's so easy to make. I love the stuff.

[Solumina]

I love that kind of stuff in pie form. Just cut the amount of milk in half and then pour the stuff into a pie crust to set up.

[MissCheyenne]

I can't imagine it in pie form to be honest. To me it's the kind of stuff you have at childrens tea parties or as a secret indulgence in front of the tv late at night

[Solumina]

Well we have that kind of pudding available just about anywhere so chocolate pudding pie isn't much of a stretch for us. You can get either instant or regular mix, if you are really being lazy it even comes in ready made tubs at the grocer (single serving packs are the most common, especially to put in kid's lunch boxes, Snack Packs being by far the most popular brand).

Banana Angel delight. I NEED IT. You know what I've always wanted to do but have never tried? Mixing two flavours of angel delight in the same bowl. Banana and choclate for example....Ok now I need it even more :O

[MissCheyenne]

DO IT! Seriously, chocolate and banana angel delight are amazing together, at least I think so.

[honeythorn]

I'll save that concoction for when my diet is over, and I'm in a routine where I can eat dessert without going into a feeding frenzy haha! I don't want to ruin it now!

[MissCheyenne]

I am also on a diet so I too must save my angel delight for another time. It will be worth the wait though, oh yes it will.

This is like the usage of the word "tea" I've learned recently from watching a lot of BBC America. Sometimes it just means a beverage, but sometimes you say "So what's for tea then?" and you mean a meal! LOL!

But it isn't always. I've had rice pudding and bread pudding and sweet potato pudding ... and they have different textures, not at all like mousse. Heck, banana pudding has whole chunks of cookies in it.

Bread pudding is one of the favorites in most Southern regions, and there are thousands of variations from simple cinnamon-spiced with raisins, to versions with chocolate or fruit mixed in or layered.

A local favorite, Woodford Pudding originated in Woodford County, Kentucky over 100 years ago. It is a spongy baked pudding made with blackberry jam and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with a sauce. Ozark pudding apparently originated in the mountains of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri. It is a simple mixture of apples, nuts, a little flour, sugar and eggs.

True. I use the word tea in reference to my evening meal. Everyone I know does apart from the people I know in the south of England, they call it dinner.

Ooh! From the same article:

Puddings are usually thought of as a milk-based flavored dessert, creamy and soft-textured. There are actually many more puddings to explore, some going back to the Native Americans and early Colonial settlers.

The word pudding might be derived from the Old French boudin, "sausage," which is from the Latin "botelinus," since many of the earliest puddings were encased meat mixtures. Dr. Johnson's Dictionary (1755) defines pudding as "a kind of food very variously compounded, but generally made of meal, milk, and eggs."

But yeah, the most commonly thought of "pudding" product in the U.S. would be that creamy product by the Jello company that Bill Cosby used to looooovvvvveeee so much!

[honeythorn]

Aye there are also savoury puddings as well as sweet. Black pudding for example - pigs blood , possibly some herbs? and lumps of what appears to be fat, bound into a tight large sausage, usually fried , I tried a tiny piece once, it was fucking horrible >.<

[MissCheyenne]

Ugh, black pudding is disgusting. My brother brings it home from work all the time and I'm constantly confronted with it every time I open the fridge. :-S

[Solumina]

Thinks its funny how when you say "pudding mix" in the US just about everyone thinks of Jello but if you say "pudding cup" then everyone thinks of Snack Packs which are made by Hunts even though both companies make both products.


Also I know about the different kinds of pudding but most of those trace their way back to a different country "pudding" pudding seems to be more or less exclusive to the US.

[honeythorn]

I need to try this mysterious US pudding O.o I've only just got to grips with bloody Oreos! I have also now tried a Twinky, purely for the Ghostbusters reference " Tell him about the twinky" . VERY sugary , I couldn't eat many which is just as well as I suspect there are about 400 million calories per bite or something

[Solumina]

And yet for some reason there are people who feel that they need to be battered and fried.

Hey Solumina, now whenever I see wedding things I think of you: http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/post/6...ing-to-wrap-my

Mostly because the only wedding this year among my friends was just funny to me, a very religious "our first kiss is the one at the wedding" couple.

[Solumina]

Oh wow I keep forgetting that there are people who wait to kiss, it just kind of boggles my mind.

Also the link totally made me giggle.

[Saya]

It kinda freaked me out too because I kept thinking after the wedding, "You know...she's probably getting her cherry popped at this very second." And it was a scary thought that wouldn't go away.

[Solumina]

Thanks Saya I now have fried rice on my computer

[the-nihilist]

Wow, I can't believe I found that weird flash game I played a long time ago, just by typing in words that describe it in google.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Soli, be in VA in June. We're going for coffee, god dammit. I MISS YOU.

[Solumina]

I'll be up for the 8th, I have a tasting with my caterer. If you come at a different time then I may not be able to get off work to travel and you may have to come visit me down here. On the plus side if you come down here we can go to Busch and/or I can take you to the Wave.

[Shadowagony]

Hmmmm.....Apple Oatmeal or Cinnamon Oatmeal? Maybe both at the same time? Can't wait for my shift to end *sigh*.
