To hate the word "pudding?"

[Misswrite89]

I hate it when people use the word pudding instead of dessert. AIBU?

Yabu I am the opposite and hate dessert. It sounds common

YABU
Pudding is a much nicer word that dessert.

Oops. Class marker!

Yabu.

Pudding is 100% better than dessert.

Yep - pudding here.

Well, unless you are actually talking about dessert- which is lovely. But not served very often, I would guess...........

I don't mind pudding or dessert but dislike 'afters'

definitely pudding.

I'm a fan of "pudding"!

I don't mind "dessert" but not too keen on "afters" or "sweet" ...

I hate it too. The way it's said sounds too snobby. I try to avoid saying dessert too though.

I'd rather have cheese and crackers every time!

pudding here as well

'dessert' is an abomination one step up from 'sweet'

I prefer pudding because than could be anything.

Dessert is a subsection of puddings, and to me is only light texture things like mousses.

Though ai suppose my true preference is cheese

YABU. It's a class marker.

But at least it's not "afters" or "the sweet"

"Dessert" is the fruit, nuts & cheese one serves between the main course, and the pudding.

I use pudding - so YANBU!

I hate 'afters' or 'sweet', and would never use 'dessert'.

Definitely pudding. Dessert is, however, preferable to 'sweet'

^ What Badger said.

Pudding all the way for me! I could not bring myself to say dessert, sweet or afters, they're on a par with serviette and cruet....

Well... I make both pudding and dessert and agree with pp who said dessert is slighter than a full on pudding, think of all the things called pudding... rice... suet/steamed... sticky toffee... bread... then all the crumbles, pies, etc, stuff that comes with custard. They aren't desserts.

Desserts are brulees, set custards, cakey things, dairy things, ice creams, meringues, tarts etc.

Pudding.
Although I ask for the dessert menu in a restaurant.

Afters & sweet make me cringe.

I say 'pudding'. Unless I'm in a restaurant and then I ask for a 'dessert menu'.

x post with Bunny!

Dessert never use the term pudding here would be something we would have in a restaurant or on Christmas Day or maybe for a family meal. Is it a more of a daily thing in the UK? I have seen it spoken about on weaning threads which makes it sound like a bit of an institution.

My mil asks 'what's for pud?' That really annoys me!

Family gathering I mean
