If you are a bit mad like me you will have invited a bunch of friends round for an English afternoon tea party on Sunday, and you'll be wondering quite how you are going to pull it off since you are working crazy long 6 day weeks. It's ok - I'll make sure there is plenty of champagne available and then they might not notice if I have a baking failure or two! (Wish me luck, I think I need it.)

    Hi Sam,

    Clear up the mystery for me... What is pud?...Spotted dick? Is it an STD you get from eating a certain kind of pud?

    Afters, pud, pudding, biscuits, sweets - all words that the English might use to describe what they refer to as desserts, candies and cookies in other parts of the world.

    Hi Bruno - unlike in the US where pudding is one specific thing - the English often use the word pud to cover all their desserts. Having said that, there are a few actual "puddings" in the English dessert repertoir including spotted dick.

    Spotted dick is a steamed pudding made with suet and dried fruit, served with custard.
