It is exceptionally good at inducing a spare tyre in those who eat it, hence (I guess) Marc's remark about being tired.
Never use the words "british" and "pudding" in the same sentence, else I will have to AGAIN fight the massive urge to fly to England to try Yorkshire pudding.


That trip will never come soon enough
