German [edit]
Etymology [edit]
Borrowing from English pudding.
Pronunciation [edit]
- IPA: [pʰʊdɪŋ]
Noun [edit]
Pudding m (genitive Puddings, plural Puddinge)
- milk pudding
- thick custard
- (by extension) anything alike to the above, like crème or mousse
Usage notes [edit]
- The German language has no concept of custard. It is referred to as Pudding when thick and as Soße (sauce) when thin.
- When known, e.g. because it is written on the package, one can refer to crèmes and the like by their proper name; often, however, Germans do not bother and refer to them as Pudding since for example a flavoured industrial yoghurt is often hard to tell apart from thin milk pudding.
