but what is the generic name for it? Not a brand.
Most of it here is Jello brand, but it is just called pudding.
Best answer so far, is puddin' from Monkey. Very helpful |

In my experience I would say it's maybe, possibly a class thing. When I was younger I would have called it a pudding but now I would refer to it as a dessert or a sweet but then... not all desserts are sweet. Just the same as not all desserts are puddings. My sister is a chef and says that all the best desserts have contrasts Hot & Cold (Apple Crumble & Ice Cream) or Tart & Sweet (Rhubarb & Custard) for example.
I think it comes from when people alawys had some sort of pudding for dessert therefore dessert became pudding, like Hoover people will always say get the hoover when they actually mean vaccuum cleaner.
There are also things like Black Pudding, White Pudding, Fruit Pudding that are fried and served usually as part of a fried breakfast, or Yorkshire Puddings which are sorta pastries that you have with gravy meat and mashed potato.
I was gonna say I hope that clears it up but it probably just makes it even more confusing. Sorry

it does kinda make it more confusing but i already knew about all that other pudding stuff, so not really. We have suet pudding and sometimes yorkshire pudding with new years day dinner every year. mmmmm. Cant wait.
Desserts here are pretty much always desserts. that is the big blanket, all encompassing term.
Hoover is like Kleenex i guess. No one here calls it a tissue. It's a kleenex regardless of the brand.
I just want to know what you people call damn chocolate pudding!
edit: black pudding is gross!

I never understood what pudding means. I just googled it and the most diverse things appeared.
Is that an artificial dessert? One of those industrial things that are sold in the supermarket? If so, here we call them "postrecitos", which means "little desserts" in English. |

what's an artificial dessert?
I just put those up as the most common commerical examples, but you can make it from scratch with chocolate and milk and eggs and sugar and...other stuff. havent made it in years. |

I mean industrialized desserts? I don't know how to say it in english, sorry! The postrecitos don't taste like homemade stuff, so I don't know if it's the same thing you're talking about.
Examples of postrecitos:
 
If it can be homemeade, then I'd call it chocolate mousse, and if it's thicker, a marquise?
