I've been wondering what kind of toppings I can add to my chocolate pudding.

I tried some peanut butter. The peanut butter wasn't sweet so I added a
little sugar too. Not bad.

I guess in the 19th century they'd add sugarplums, cherries, or other
candied fruit.

No, because then, "pudding" was more like a steamed cake. The pudding
you're eating is "custard", and to my knowledge, which is limited, it
was more often poured over pudding/cake than eaten with stuff in it.

Probably not. Custard has eggs in it.

Oh Noes! Bovine can't possibly be exposed to an egg. She might realize
that she just craves attention and doesn't have any allergies. Have
any of your, and I'm being kind in assuming you have any, friends told
you how tiresome people like you are? Do people avoid you? Never
invite you to eat with them?

No. None of that stuff has happened. But I do know how tiresome you are!

Boiled Custard~ I've never purchased it but see it yearly. I'm a huge
fan of SilkNog so that is my yearly "Egg-Noggy" treat. Perhaps I need to
investigate this further and buy some, if you say its good?

Isn't "pudding" a fairly standard British term for all desserts? "Shall
we have ice-cream for pudding?"
