Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 08/02/2025I've heard that the "pudding" in black/blood pudding derives from "boudin", a French word for sausage. It sounds a bit like pudding, I suppose, and I can see it getting mangled into that by non French speakers. 110
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Reminds me of how confused I got reading a fantasy book, where the wizard protagonist described his enemy as having his hands covered in something that "looked like black pudding". Took me a few minutes to realise he meant that custardy stuff that Americans call pudding and not blood sausage.... 000
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 02/02/2025There are certainly people who call if afters though. It may be partly regional too - I mean, you can walk half a mile down the street in this country and that changes what they call a bread roll 🙃 050
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Not fighting, just providing a contradictory data point. There are indeed people who call it afters, but I don't think it's quite as clear-cut as rich/working class. I suspect regional differences are also involved. 110
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 03/01/2025As a Brit, I've always wondered what it is that happens to fruitcake in America that apparently renders it inedible.... 🤣 010

Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 15/12/2024I never realised The Littlest Hobo was a German Shepherd as he doesn't look like the ones I'm familiar with. I wonder if he was an atypical individual, or if the breed has different characteristics in Canada🤔 100

There is NO evidence that patients have been harmed by puberty blockers 2. Detransition rates are consistantly and EXTREMELY low 46818

Reposted by CarolMike Melton @mikemelton.bsky.social · 07/12/2024A remarkable experience here at my house yesterday. I saw something moving in a tree outside my office window and I thought it was a squirrel at first. It wasn't. It was a very wet, very hungry Northern Olingo: a nocturnal creature that is incredibly difficult to see and not common 1/3 #mammals 🌿 2876798
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Wow! Brilliant picture! I went and looked this animal up, as I'd not heard of the species before. I thought it looked quite like a bushbaby, so I was surprised to learn they're members of the same family as raccoons! What an exciting thing to find in your garden! 120
Carol @carolh.bsky.social · 06/12/2024This looks like the sort of bird that befriends the main character in a fantasy novel and gives them helpful but sarcastic advice.🙃 020
