Question: What is the Difference Between Pudding and Dessert?
In British and Irish food, the difference between pudding and dessert can be confusing; pudding can be a dessert, but a dessert can only be a pudding.
Answer: Traditionally a pudding is a cooked, substantial starch or dairy based sweet dish, as in a Spotted Dick Pudding which contains flour and suet, a Traditional Christmas Pudding or a Rice Pudding. A pudding is usually considered a more homely, rustic or traditional recipe.
To make it a little more confusing though, pudding is not always sweet. British food is awash with savory puddings - Yorkshire Pudding, served with Roast Beef in a traditional Sunday Lunch, Black Pudding or a winter-warming Steak and Kidney Pudding.
A dessert traditionally was uncooked, as in a fresh fruit, but is now regarded as lighter and more sophisticated than a traditional pudding; Chocolate, a Mousse, light, refreshing Champagne Jelly or a Souffle.
Though many don't like to admit it, using the term pudding or dessert has connotations of class. Using "Dessert" is thought to be posher than a homely pudding. This distinction has eroded with more traditional recipes making a fashionable comeback in recent times; many restaurants (including top end eateries) using Pudding to refer to the sweet course on menus.

Gambar2 ini diambil disekitar bandar Pekan. Terdapat banyak lagi pembangunan baru yg sedang dijalankan, nanti kawan post dimasa mendatang. Sekian saja.
Inilah laman mertuaku diBukit Indah. Beliau hanya meminati pokok berdaun dan jenis2 paku pakis. Yang berbunga tu kurang sikit. Gambar2 diambil semasa kawan menetap disana sewaktu bulan puasa lepas. Hanya 10 hari kawan sempat berniaga diWangsa Melawati. Kalau ada kesempatan jumpa lagi tahun depan, insyaallah.
