Tho word pudding whs formerly used in the sense of Btutlliif? (or forcemeat). Porridge, on tho other hand, was used In the senso of our present day pudding.

Tho pro revolution or Stuart preparation of plums and other Ingredients was a por ridge or pottage and not a pudding and was uiado with very strong broth of shin of beef." Christmas plum puddings have of lato years become tho toys of fashion.
