To hate the word "pudding?"

[Misswrite89]

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

Its a bit like toilet and lavatory isn't it?

Dessert, serviette, settee, lounge, lavatory = all painfully Hyacinth Bouquet.

God I really fancy sticky toffee pudding after reading all of this

leannebattersby didn't he?!

Was it just a Northern one? My young Scottish teenage self might not have known the difference.

I'm going off to check out YouTube...

You're all wrong . According to dc1 (5.5) it's "pruddin"

Pudding is warm comforting carbs, preferably with lashings of cream or custard.

Dessert is a nimby-pimby concoction which won't fill you up.

Our local tea shop does Pudding Nights which are hugely popular - you have to book months ahead. Dessert Night would be weird.

We call it pud

Oh yeah, he clearly isn't Scouse.

I still say pudding in his accent, wherever up North he's from...

Just back to say that I had a shit day today but this thread cheered me up and reminded me why I live the uk: you're such a convoluted bunch of people with your class differences and puddings! It's comforting somehow

Pudding night sounds lovely.

In my neck of the woods pudding is something you have with rashers and sausages and can be black or white :)

Pudding definitely over dessert - I love pudding

As long as people don't say "Poodeeeen" I don't mind it haha!

Pudding here. And we only got it after Sunday Lunch. Dad came from very working class Glasgow and became middle class, mum is a foreigner so doesn't count.

YABVU. "Dessert" makes me shudder.

You won't look back flogging !

Do class differences exist elsewhere almostenglish?

I mean do certain names make middle class mothers shudder? Do the French get dropped from social circles for using the wrong French word?

Are there similar debates I wonder?

Apparently, if you are hosting an event like a shooting party and the food is lots of different puddings. You can get away by calling dessert wine, pudding wine. Other than that it's dessert wine.

Pudding or pud! Dessert comes across as middle class trying to be posh but just my opinion of course!

I hate all the hatred in the world, famine, disease, racism, sexism, homophobia, terrorism, injustice and war.

But if your number one bete noire is the word pudding, then that's fine.

You have a point Tiggy but some threads on here are lighthearted and a bit of escape from all of the horrors on your list.

I'm from a proper northern working class background, so I have always called pudding pudding. I had it after my tea. That's tea as in meal, not as in hot drink. Everyone did the same.

Now, after university and a professional career, I still call it pudding, but I now have it after my supper. My very middle class friends all do the same.

Funny lot, the British.

hudyerwheest RE preparing an avacado without mess, this is what I do:

Make sure said avacado is ripe.
Using an ordinary table knife, slice all the way around the avacado until you have 2 halves. Using a spoon, remove the stone.
Then, take the knife and score each half of the avacado flesh vertically, then horizontally, so that you have cubes inside the skin.
Hold each half over the bowl you want the avacado in and gently squeeze the outside of the skin so that the cubes come out. You can use the knife to remove any remaining prices, but it's quite a clean method.

Love pudding, supper gives me the absolute rage though.

Supper is very posh, isn't it? In Ireland; it's the (optional) small snack you have before bed if you're still hungry...

Pudding all the way (yay).
(Bibbity - toilet = no, lavatory/loo = yes)
