Talk:Fruit pudding

Fruit pudding? Well, I've no doubt that there may be places in Scotland that call it that, but certainly none of the places I've been to or lived in. Cloutie Dumpling, or just Dumpling, are the names I've encountered.

Fruit pudding is not the same thing as dumpling and clootie dumpling. They are two different kinds of pudding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acathexis (talk • contribs) 12:33, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * My father used to travel to Glasgow on business and always knew thiz dish as "fruity pudding" and was once given some to take back to England. From what I saw of it - he did not allow me to taste it after he cooked it - amd I am not sure he successfully cooked it into something edible - it looked very much like slices of a heavy fruit cake. (His efforts with white pudding were more successful and my parents and sisters and me all enjoyed it.) As for Clootie Dumpling the name means literally, a dumpling cooked in a cloth, so is potentially just a reference to the manner of cooking rather than the content of the said dumpling. In NE England it was, and perhaps still is, common to cook dumplings in a loose-woven cloth, to preserve the dumpling's structural integrity. 81.153.246.185 (talk) 20:44, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
