Indian Pudding was the yumful result when British hasty pudding hit the shores of the New World. Apparently 17th century New England didn't have much wheat so those hip colonial chicks used cornmeal instead and baked it up with cinnamon and syrup. The best rebellions begin in the kitchen! ;)
The recipe is simple and easily veganized but surprisingly there aren't many vegan bloggers out there who have posted their pudding perfection. These are the recipes I've discovered so far...

If you're looking for a Thanksgiving-friendly blog topic, give it a go...veganize it with your own twist or host a Vegan Indian Pudding Challenge to see who creates the most adventuresome version!
Speaking of corny T-days...my favorite Thanksgiving food is vegan cornbread. Any kind, but especially with blueberries. Give me a couple of hunks of that with a big tub of vegan butter and I'll shut up and love ya for life. ;)

Have you tried Indian Pudding? Do you like cornbread? Pan or skillet, sweet or savory? What food do you most crave at Thanksgiving?
Wow, I really don't know too much about Indian pudding! I will have to check these recipes out.
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until I researched the holiday but it's got "yumful comfort food" written all over it! :)
