Strange use of the language. According to UJ a chocolate cake is a pudding. Anywhere outside the U.K., if you ask a real chef to make a pudding, he/she will make a dessert made of milk/cream, eggs,
sugar and some wide variety of flavoring. (Occasionally, a thickener such as flour or corn starch is used.) Thus, you are served a cold, thickened,
sweet dessert, like: chocolate pudding, rice pudding, vanilla pudding, butterscotch pudding, etc. etc.
Yorkshire "pudding" , sometimes served with roast beef, or prime rib, is about as far from a pudding as you can get.
