Pudding versus pudding:

Nora and I vacationed in Ireland some years ago. In Dublin we had a lovely dinner and were thinking of ordering dessert.

I asked the waiter about the pudding I’d seen listed on the menu, picturing something rich and chocolate-y with real homemade whipped cream.

He said, “The pudding’s made with blood.” (Pronounced: “Th’ puddin’s made wi’ blud.”)

We ordered coffee.

“Black pudding” — so that’s what it was! Yikes — creeped me the heck out!

Yeah, Prince, my bad on skeptic/sceptic thing. I thought "sceptic" was actually the proper spelling of "septic." See how I am? I am a skeptic, at least I think I am; I can't be 100% sure of it though...

You have your doubts, then?

Those things you showed would be called cakes here. Pudding is a soft and creamy thing that is served for desert and look like this:

Only for us. Our soft version based on tapioca came later.

In Scotland we have a whole range of Puddings. If you go into a Fish and Chip shop, you can get Black Pudding, White Pudding, Haggis Pudding and, in this context, sausage is also a pudding. All battered and deep fried!

Clarification: "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

Must admit, that it makes more sense - but while the movie is so absurd anyway - and some of my childhood teachers were what they were - I could easily connect getting pudding with wiping them feet. Fortunately ALL teachers were not sadists.
