History of the dish
The homeland of pudding is England, it was in this country that back in the 16th century a recipe for pudding made from thick oatmeal in meat broth was invented. Then they began to add pieces of bread, fruits, dried fruits and honey to this dish. In the next century, English culinary experts began to realize that fruit kept the dish fresh longer - from that moment on, canned meats appeared.
However, with the advent of sugar in cooking, meat completely disappeared from the pudding recipe and since the 19th century pudding has been prepared in the form in which we know it now. To this day, puddings are the most traditional British dishes and are certainly present on the Christmas table of every Englishman. The word "pudding" in translation from English "pudding" means "fatty". And this is no accident, because for the recipe of the famous imperial pudding, as many as 16 ingredients were used, which were brought to the capital of England from all corners and colonies - currants, eggs, apples, raisins, and even the already famous Scottish beer. It was believed that pudding for Christmas must be prepared in advance - at least three weeks before the holidays, so that it "ripened".
Today, pudding is predominantly a dessert. The most common are chocolate, cottage cheese, rice, caramel and fruit puddings, banana and cottage cheese-banana pudding.
