Pudding

最近開始認真的查紙本字典，手邊的Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (第四版)

英美在食物料理和食材上，有很多差異
例如："pudding"這個名詞

 根據朗文字典，就很明確的有四項細分的解釋

(2)泛指一般我們所認知，用牛奶、蛋、糖、麵粉等製成的布丁pudding，例如：巧克力布丁蛋糕。（冷藏後使用）


(1)(3)(4)其中三點針對英式用法有很清楚的介紹。
(3) 英式的pudding，也可用來泛指飯後「甜點」＝dessert。
(4) 英式的pudding，有鹹有甜。鹹的pudding，

例如：steak and kidney pudding
打開上蓋，送進烤箱，非常方便又好吃

在傳統的英式早餐絕對少不了 black pudding
吃起來很像豬血糕＋米腸

很像葡式蛋塔的Yorkshire pudding，常在Sunday Lunch裡和roast meat一塊出現。酥脆外皮、內層有熱布丁的鬆軟口感，沾上roast beef的肉汁，或是特調的gravy醬汁。都是屬於非常英式的傳統美味。
