.....pudding

If I've learned one goddamn thing from watching this Bake Off show, it's that pudding exists only as a quantum superposition.

a phase between phases, it's sausage, cake, bread, and really whatever the hell else you wanna call it

congratufuckinlations that's the spectrum on which all food exists
Essentialism is fucking bullshit but I will fight to the death for the UK to define the boundaries of what constitutes a pudding
Somewhere hidden in the Declaration of Independence is a screed against the incomprehensible definition of pudding

WHO'S READY FOR PUDDING KIDS

YAYYYYYYYYYY

@jsdtweets If you're confused by what pudding is, it's steamed. That's all. Something that is steamed into shape.

@jsdtweets <3

Except in the case of yorkshire pudding (which is more like a fluffly, squidgy pancake than a bread btw) and black/white pudding:

If you'd usually eat it with a spoon and it's not a pie or a tart then it's definitely not a cake and probably might possibly be a pudding.

@uoou I'm deep in a wikipedia hole, so bear with me, but now I'm reading that Bakewell Tart also used to be called Bakewell Pudding!
@jsdtweets Ok now you've stumbled into the real controversy. Close that page or MI6 will be onto you.
@jsdtweets this fact has haunted me for years.

@jsdtweets old way of saying someone was pregnant was to say there were in the pudding club.

So.

Pudding

@jsdtweets
this entire thread is incredibly offensive to my people. You can't make sense of this stuff with your fancy 'words' and 'wikis', come over to my place for tea and I'll show you; the proof is in the pudding.
@jsdtweets oudding is effectively anything thats vaguely solid and consisten throughout. like its one solid mass of the same stuff

@jsdtweets

* at a pudding*

That's a custard.

@jsdtweets OI! That's... actually remarkably accurate
