Re: the proof is in the pudding
ldo.
Another pudding question. My local Thai place has a fantastic coconut custardish desert. It has a thai name. Can i call that pudding, if it shares the consistency? If so, that's clearly my favorite pudding. Also, what about creme brule? Is there a formal definition for what truly makes a pudding? -P

Re: the proof is in the pudding
I really don't like pudding that much.
The texture just feels too icky for me. It's kind of like mashed potatoes. I can't eat mashed potatoes straight up because the texture makes me want to gag. But with turkey or chicken or steak or whatever and then scooping some potatoes along with works for me. 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.

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.
