Tupp,

May I ask a silly question?

Being on this side of the Great Pond, I'm not too familiar with the various holiday foods in England.  I've seen Plum Pudding which looks like cake to me.  In England, what is the difference between English Puddings and cakes?

Thanks for indulging me in this.

Ooh Bonesie that's a good question!  I'm not an expert but I think it's that a pudding is steamed whilst a cake is baked in the oven.  I think steamed puddings tend to be a bit heavier and more dense than oven baked cakes, although I have heard that people are making plum pudding cake now which is the ingredients of plum pudding but it's baked rather than steamed, if that makes sense!  All taste equally delicious if you ask me :)

I think I see what you mean.  American Pudding is somewhat liquid, which is why I tend to get confused with the words.  Steamed cake could be a more accurate description of what Plum Pudding is.

Yes I think that probably sums it up pretty well!  It's making me feel hungry :)

Been also trying to figure out WHO is responsible for updating the local Emergency Operations Plan that has NOT been changed in over a decade and contains enough HUGE gaps to drive a Starship through!  Dealing with local politicians is a HEADACHE!!!

This could contain triggers for those who survived bullying bosses.

I don't agree with Margo regarding the first letter.  There's got to be a better way of dealing with a relative like this.

I know someone who behaves in a similar manner.  Needless to say, the relationship failed as I got tired of talking to a blank wall and getting no communication in return.
