The Boston Cream Pie is actually a cake, not a pie. The idea of it being a pie most likely stems from the easier avaliability of Pie Tins over Cake Pans during the time the dish originated. Created by a French Chef named Sanzian at Boston's Parker House Hotel in 1855, this pudding/cake combination comprises two layers of sponge cake which are then filled with vanilla custard. Afterwards, the cake is topped with a chocolate glaz ...

Butterscotch is a type of candy made by boiling sugar syrup, butter, cream and vanilla. In many ways it is similar to toffee except that the sugar is boiled to the "soft crack" stage (see confectionery). Butterscotch is often used as a flavouring for items such as dessert sauce, pudding, and cookies (biscuits in British English). Food historians have several theories regarding the name of this candy and its connection to Scotland; none of them conclusive. Some have documented that "buttery toffee" is often called butterscotch - Scotch being an old adjective for Scotla ...

Traditionally puddings were made on or immediately after the Sunday "next before Advent", i.e. five weeks before Christmas. The Collect for that Sunday in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, as it was used from the sixteenth century (and still is in traditional churches), reads: "Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by thee b ...

Many households have their own recipe for Christmas pudding, preferably handed down the family; it is probable that there are also regional variations. Christmas pudding is a boiled, or rather steamed, pudding, massively heavy with dried fruit and nuts, and usually made with suet. It should be very dark in appearance - effectively black - and moist with brandy and other alcohol (some recipes call for dark beers such as mild, stout or porter). Traditionally, Christmas puddings were boiled in a pudding cloth, and they are often represented as round, but at least since the beginning of the twentieth centur ...

Rice was first cultivated in Southeast Asia. Over thousands of years, various recipes have developed in the Eastern Asia. Some include fruit and honey, while others are far simpler consisting of only rice, water and sugar. For the west, rice pudding originated in the Middle East or Persia.

Shola, flavored with rose water, was introduced to Perisa by the 13th century Mongol ...

Christmas puddings have very good keeping properties and many families keep one back from Christmas to be eaten at another celebration later in the year, often at Easter. Some take the practice so far as to make each year's pudding the previous Christmas. Others claim that this impairs the flavour, but admit that a well-made pudding will keep at least adequately for a year. Christmas puddings can be bought ready made and cooked, but unless they come from a luxury shop these are likely to be a poor substitute for a home-cooked p ...

Planned Unit Development is a means of land regulation which promotes large scale, unified land development by means of mid-range, realistic programs in chase of physically-curable, social and economic deficiencies in land and cityscapes. Where appropriate, this development control promotes: 1.) A mixture of both land uses and dwelling types with at least one of the nonresidential land uses being regional in nature. 2.) The clustering of residential land uses providing public and common open space. 3.) Increased administrative discretion to ...

In PUDs, the zoning of districts becomes much different than what was standard under the Standard Zoning Enabling Act. Historically, the districts were very narrow in type and large in area. Within PUDs, zoning becomes much more integrated with multiple land uses and districts being placed on adjacent land parcels. Residential properties in PUDs are by far the most numerous and occupy the largest land areas. PUDs tend to incorporate single-family residential uses within close proximity to two-family units and multiple-family dwellings ...

The origins of PUDs in the new American communities can be traced to British movements during the 1950’s. The developments in Britain’s new communities dealt with the locations of industrial elements and how they were publicly dictated before building ever began in order to uphold an economic base. However, in America, privately controlled communities often had to attract industry after the residential sectors had been built and occupied. The newest forms of the Planned Unit Development in America were found shortly after World Wa ...

The fruitcake has become one of the most ridiculed desserts and the butt of many jokes centered on its heaviness and long shelf life. Former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson joked that there really is only one fruitcake in the world. It is passed from family to family -- a joke also frequently attributed to the writer Calvin Trillin, who denies being the source. Trillin says he was just passing along a theory he "had heard from someone in Denver". He continues, "There is nothing dangerous about fruitcakes as long as people send them along without eating them." The Fruitcake Lady makes appearances with ...

Sausage is a natural outcome of efficient butchery. Sausage-makers put to good use meat and animal parts that are edible and usually nutritious, but not particularly appealing, such as organ meats, blood, and fat, and allow the preservation of meat that can not be consumed immediately. Hence, sausages are among the oldest of prepared foods. It is often assumed that sausages were invented by the Sumerians in what is Iraq today, around 3000 BC. The Chinese sausage Làcháng (臘腸/腊肠), which consisted of goat and lamb meat, ...
