The pudding is a type of dessert of British origin. The most famous pudding is the Christmas Pudding, also inaccurately called plum pudding, despite the fact that it contains no plums. It is made with candied fruit, spices, rum and other ingredients, is obviously served at Christmas, and decorated with a holly leaf. The word pudding is nowadays widespread and used to indicate different types of dessert - and sometimes savoury dishes - having more or less the same appearance and cooking methods.
