Pudding or Dessert?

[TheShellBeach]

.........or even "Sweet" or "Afters"? What do you call it?
And what do you have, if anything?

Dessert. It's only pudding if it's an actual pudding imo

For example sticky toffee pudding is pudding but apple pie is dessert

You nay be right, @ichundich: but it is sad. In other countries it would be hard to believe that an adult of normal intelligence could write what I’ve quoted seriously.

Pudding for a pudding, ice cream for ice cream, trifle for trifle, afters for tinned fruit cocktail with evaporated milk, dessert at a restaurant which should be fancier than the above.

The loo

Pudding is the correct name for the generally sweet course that follows the entree. (although it is eaten with a dessert spoon)
Dessert is a different course, namely fruit, eaten with a knife and fork
Calling pudding dessert, sweet or afters is non u.

I'm from N.Ireland and say dessert. We have pudding at Christmas.

Depends how posh I'm feeling.

I call it dessert more often than not, as 'pudding' brings to mind something hot and spongey, or like an old fashioned school thing eg rice pudding.
Did not grow up here in UK, however.

Thank you.

Pudding. I can live with dessert, especially if it’s cold but my Nan calls it sweet and that just feels wrong.

Pudding. I wee in a loo.

Pudding but I usually just have a yoghurt.

Pudding.

Anything else and you’re from Pardonia.

Pudding

Yes, indeed.

Afters.

Pudding, every time.

Pudding

Pudding people go 'to the loo' or alternatively 'the lavatory'.

Used to be afters when I was growing up, I assume due to northern parents. Now I would say dessert but it's all a bit academic as we don't tend to have them at home and I very rarely eat one out (I'm a starters kind of person 😂)

Pudding. And loo. The D word and the T words make me cringe.

Depends what it is, Mince pies and custard = pudding but fruit pavlova is dessert.

Definitely pudding - whatever it is.

Pudding

Pudding. But usually cheese, anyway 😉
