Why do british desserts have non straight forward names?
You ever noticed how British desserts have names that don't directly describe what it is? For example, Christmas pudding is a cake and not a pudding, plum pudding has no plums and is also a cake, and mincemeat pie contains no meat. American desserts have names exactly describing it like Apple pie or chocolate cake. Ever wonder why the British don't give their desserts straight forward names? Just curious
