The last time someone ordered that, they came to a sticky end.

@OP: Dessert!

Appropriate sig is appropriate XD

Given the annual rainfall in the North Pole, I guess it can be classed as a desert. :D

Indeed, you can have a desert of ice, in fact, the polar deserts are the largest deserts on the planet in terms of surface area, each over 50% larger than the Sahara, which is the largest hot desert.

So OP, do you prefer hot deserts or cold deserts? ;)

If I was having a Sunday lunch/Christmas dinner with my family I would refer to it as pudding as typically it would be a pudding being served. "Mother, what is the pudding?"

If I was out dining or it was any other occasion I would ask what was for dessert.
 
Poor commoner, father was an ex-miner etc., or neo-middle-class = pudding
True middle class and above = dessert



Put I this way, you drink a dessert wine with bessert, not pudding.


Besides pudding refers to steamed goods and things like black pudding,not necessarily something sweet.

Surely that would be a bessert wine, something completely different! :eek:

If you happen to find a copy of Debrett's you may be surprised to find middle/upper class use pudding to mean the general sweet course. Dessert is a separate course altogether eaten after pudding, usually consisting of fruit.
