Did you know?
- While pudín refers to a sweet dessert in Spanish, its distant Latin ancestor botellus actually meant 'sausage' or 'small intestine'.
- In some Latin American regions, a pudín may be served as a savory dish, echoing the historical roots of the word as a meat-based mixture.
- While pudin is used for specific desserts, if you want a generic 'pudding' in the sense of a thick, creamy dessert, a Spanish speaker is more likely to use the word natilla.
