Date: 2012-02-21 10:43 pm (UTC)Actually, it's the other way around; as an English / Creative Writing major in college and grad school, I read a lot of Elizabethan and Victorian literature, and occasionally came across references to people having a grand supper with a pudding as the main dish. And a light bulb clicked on as I remembered the nursery rhyme from my childhood.
Here's a Wikipedia article about pudding, in general, with links to different kinds of puddings from around the world:

...And I am hungry, now. And have no pudding, either sweet or savory...
No... I have an almost pudding: the last chicken, rice, and bean burrito in my freezer. It may not be there an hour from now ;-)
