.....pudding

Essentialism is fucking bullshit but I will fight to the death for the UK to define the boundaries of what constitutes a pudding

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.
