Don't really know what English pudding is ... never had it.
I only know Jello puddings that kids ate when they were young ... the powdered mixes with milk added - chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, etc.
That is good too.

I've had Spotted Dick (yeah, I can see why they call it something else now!)
and enjoyed it. When I saw your title, I thought you were going to ask about Blood Pudding... can't even think of that without gagging.

I'm not British, but I've had English trifle, and I like all types of pudding. A favorite is Italian Zuppa Inglese, similar to an English trifle.
It's traditionally made with savoiardi (lady fingers) soaked in rose petal liqueur or the spiced liqueur Alchermes, which is neutral spirits infused with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and herbs, then covered in layers of firm custard.
It's usually assembled in a glass dish, so people can see the layers and the red color of the Alchermes. The traditional recipe says to put it in a fluted mold, though you'll find it in different forms. Recipes are also modified as to the custard used: vanilla, chocolate, and sometimes both, or instead of traditional custard, it's sometimes made with crème anglaise, a pouring custard.

Why?
"Black pudding is a kind of sausage, except that unlike normal sausages, you make it with blood. To make a black pudding, you cook blood mixed with a filler (oatmeal) until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled and because of this, black pudding is one of those things people either love or hate." ---Sorry, but I'm going to personally have to go with hate.

No thanks to: black pudding, Christmas pudding or anything made with gummy bread, blood or brains.
I do like trifle the way my brother made it: leftover cake and any kind of pudding like vanilla or butterscotch. I totally love custard though.

Alright, you win. But I'm ordering an Egg Biscuit. Which brings me to a question. Since you call what we call cookies biscuits, what do you call what we call biscuits? Yikes, that was a twisted up question. But yeah, I don't want an egg patty between cookies... what would it be called there?retiredtraveler

Custard is a heavenly thing, really hot poured onto a good stodgy pudding.
I'm afraid the dieting is not going so well! But life is too short. Today we shall eat the Spotted Dick I made, I shall indulge.

well there's no real savoury comparison. Scones look like biscuits but they're sweet and are served as cake..not in stews..
