Today on Info on The Go, we’re sinking our spoons into something creamy, comforting, and unexpectedly historic — pudding. What began as a humble dish of grains, meat, and even blood has evolved into one of the world’s favorite desserts. From the savory, sausage-like puddings of ancient civilizations to the steamed holiday classics of Britain — and finally to the silky vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry cups we know today — pudding’s story is a journey through centuries of taste, tradition, and transformation.

We’ll uncover how the French word boudin (meaning sausage) gave rise to our modern sweet treats, trace how sugar, trade, and empire reshaped the recipe, and explore how American kitchens turned pudding into a smooth, chilled comfort food icon. So grab your spoon — because we’re serving up the rich and fascinating tale of how pudding went from blood and barley to butterscotch bliss.

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
Kat & William
