How Bunny and I came to be discussing pudding during lunch is lost to me,
but we did.
In particular,
we were discussing what the British call “pudding,”
which is entirely unlike what we Yanks call “pudding.”
Over on the other side of the pond,
the Brits have Yorkshire pudding,
a baked bread product,
blood pudding,
which is in fact a sausage made of blood,
and plum pudding which,
of course,
has no plums what-so-ever in it.
Savory,
sweet,
boiled,
baked or steamed,
is there anything the British won't call “puddling?”
But apparantly,
there is some method in their madness,
and in this article at Atlas Obscura
they go into depth of what a British pudding is,
using jelly fish
(of all things)
as the metaphor.
Weird,
but it works.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
