Pudding is either of two general types of food, the second deriving from the first. The older puddings were foods that were presented in a solid mass formed by the amalgamation of various ingredients with a binder that may or may not have been a gelling agent, including the use of blood. The best-known examples of this are the black pudding and the Yorkshire pudding. This older type of pudding, still commonly made today in the British Isles, was often a main-course type of dish.

The newer type of pudding is almost exclusively a dessert-type dish. The usual form is for milk with sugar and other added ingredients to be solidified by means of some gelling or structural agent, including cornstarch, gelatin, eggs, tapioca (cassava), and other starches. Forms of these include custard and blanc-mange. They are available in forms which require cooking or in instant form. Related foods include gelatin desserts such as Jell-O and aspicAspic is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatine, jelly-like substance made from beef, veal, chicken, or fish stock. When cooled, the stock congeals because of the natural gelatine found in the meat. The aspic may need additional gelatine in os.

In particular, when used by other English speakers, it often refers to the written Standard English and the pronunciati, a pudding may mean a dessertDessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly flavored one, such as some cheeses.
