Hahahahaha.  Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.  Hehehehehehehe.  Ordinarily, a
"pudding" is a sweet-dish, yes.  There's also "steak and kidney pudding"
-- the "pudding" part made from suet [1]. But that's savoury.  You
should try and look at a Yorkshire pudding in a new light -- cumberland
sausages [2] in a huge yorkshire pudding with onion gravy, is divine.
Mmmmmmm.  It's a typical English dish, for sure.

Hehehe, any time, Mike, any time.  "Look, there's a rock in the sea,
there's another one."  You'd probably like Lulworth Cove and Durdle
Door... (google for them, and you'll see.  From a geological aspect
they're world famous, and as small as the two places are, they attract
*a lot* of people each year om holidays.  I should know, I used to work
right on the coast of Lulworth... :))

[1]  For those of you who don't know, suet is just rolls of beef fat,
     essentially that cook out to form some delicious dishes -- often it goes
     to make dumplings (with stew), or jam rolly-polly, yay!  (That's a sweet
     dish), a pudding, if you will... :)

[2]  Cumberland used to be a county bordering the Scottish border, along
     with Northumberlandshire.  The two merged to form "Cumbria" as we know
     it today.
