There is a rich and thick indulgence that is perfect for a cold winter’s day, something that brings the warmth and deliciousness of tradition together with childhood memories. In the New England area, this indulgence is known as ‘Indian Pudding’, a variation on the Hasty Pudding that was a classic of the United Kingdom. Ever since the 17th century, when the English settlers had come to the New World and needed a replacement for their beloved hasty pudding, has Indian Pudding been a staple. National Indian Pudding Day celebrates this delicious treat and the centuries of tradition that is behind it.
