Queen of puddings

Queen of puddings is a traditional dessert consisting of a custard with breadcrumbs soaked in milk, acting as a base, which is then topped with fruit jam and an airy meringue. The history of this sweet dish is quite murky, as some believe that it dates back to the 17th century, while others claim that it originated in the 19th century.

Regardless of the origins, most people enjoy this pudding without a second thought when it is served warm on the table.
