Dead on. Beans, perhaps?

I'm making efforts to start calling my midday meal lunch again. It's hard.

hmm, so it's all very regional, I seeeee ..love those English sponges, Jamie 'Pretty Boy' Oliver did a chocolate sponge I've been wanting to do   

...and here for a custard eggs must be involved

Jared; I think I kinda get the whole English pudding thing but it still baffles me..  so, technically pudding is indeed cooked sugared milk as it is here.. but yet some English feel many desserts can be pudding (or 'puds' ? Embarrassed)   ..no, it's a mystery inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma

Edit; OK, just caught James post and it's a bit clearer,

Erm, Apple Pie/Crumble/Strudel fits this criteria. Wink  I prefer it with custard myself too. So I was correct.

Well yes... I guess if I used ice cream and/or tip top/squirty cream it should be a dessert.

But I only have a bowl of bran flakes, I don't have 2 slices of toast as well. Wink  I'm not much of an eater anyhow, I quite often skip breakfast.

No... I consider Apple Pie/Crumble/Strudel with Custard/Ice Cream a pudding.

But there is Christmas Pudding, Sticky Toffee Pudding and other such puddings that are indeed what David implies.

no, that's more or less how it is in Egland too, david...although to be correctly called a 'pudding' you just HAVE to include custard....Approve
 
but in England it can be different things, is this right James?
 
no, this is ONLY in James' little world...Wink

Never saw it again, not even in that store...a sad thing, truly.
 
hmmm...convenience stores selling unpasturised milk at 2am...Ermm
 
it puts me in mind of a quote by Woody Allen as to why he loved living in Manhattan so much...
 
he said that if he wanted, he could get up and go out for a Cantonese meal at 3am.  The fact is that he never wanted to, because Cantonese at 3am would give him dreadful indigestion, but the mere fact that he knew he could if he ever wanted to, made him love Manhattan....LOL
