TRIFLE, A pudding is the dessert course of a meal (`pud' is used informally). In England and the rest of the UK, we also use the words 'dessert, 'sweet'' and 'afters'.
Not all our puddings are sweet puddings, some are eaten during the starter or main course like Yorkshire Pudding and Black Pudding.
There are hundreds of variations of sweet puddings in England, but each pudding begins with the same basic ingredients of milk, sugar, eggs, flour and butter and many involve fresh fruit such as raspberries or strawberries, custard, cream, and cakes.
Recipe: Sandwich ladyfingers with strawberry preserves; cut into pieces and arrange on bottom of lass serving dish. Use sherry to moisten, then arrange fruit on top. Make custard following directions on package. Pour over fruit and cake. Allow to cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight. This allows flavors to blend. Whip the heavy cream; use to top trifle. Garnish as desired with slivered almonds. Chill until ready to serve.
