Pudding and Souse

Pudding is a soft, often sweet, dessert that can range from creamy custards to spongy cakes, enjoyed as a treat or after a meal. In some regions, it also refers to savory dishes like black pudding, a type of blood sausage. Souse is a seasoned pickled meat or fish dish common in Caribbean and Southern cuisine, typically made by marinating cooked ingredients in vinegar, citrus, and spices. Both offerings showcase diverse culinary traditions: pudding as a versatile dessert or savory dish, and souse as a tangy, flavorful preservation method for meats.
