The British pudding (U.S. translation: dessert) is a sweet, hot, heavy beast. Rainy northern Atlantic islands are not conducive to finishing your meal with something cold. The rice pudding, the crumble, the treacle tart - bread and butter pudding is recognised by all right-thinking people as their king.
Name a better pudding. You can't!!
If, by any chance, you'd like to - I don't know - cook me one next time you see me, here's the recipe. Thank you in advance :)
