Yeah. I heard about this. They claim it's a security risk apparently!

Ahh. Because it wasn't truly his to sell... gotcha.  Cruel, that queen.

Now, you see, if they'd given the pudding an ID card this problem would never have occurred.

Aha.  So is this "pudding" as in "dessert" or "pudding" as in "gloopy sweet stuff"?

Am I right in getting the impression that British pudding - the meal - encompasses everything from ice cream to fruitcake to crêpe suzette?

It can mean the same thing as "dessert", i.e. the last course of a meal, or it can be a specific thing like a rice pudding, sticky toffee pudding, christmas pudding, etc.

EDIT: In this case, it's a christmas pudding, so it's a thing.
