Re: the proof is in the pudding
[ QUOTE ]
I would also like some info or speculation as to the origin of the phrase 'proof is in the puddling'. huh? What pudding? Seems kind of a strange thing to say. Especially considering that some of your audience might not even like pudding. [/ QUOTE ] You know, I was wondering the same thing. Ah, here we go: Link Someone earlier included the whole saying - props to whoever that was. |

Re: the proof is in the pudding
I had never heard "proof of the pudding is in the eating" before.
I believe I have heard "proof is in the pudding" since I was a kid. If I heard it when I was 10 years old or so that would have been about 1980. Yeah, it was an increasingly fast-paced society then too compared with 1960 or something. But it's not like this shortened version came about due to the internet-age or something. |
