Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain pudding as a category and its regional senses, relay history and kinds from culinary sources, describe the dishes the registry aliases name, and distinguish pudding from custard, mousse, cake and the American instant pudding.

A broad category of dishes, in British usage any dessert and also savoury dishes such as steamed and boiled puddings, and elsewhere mainly sweet milk-based desserts, spanning hasty pudding of boiled grain, Bakewell pudding, Norwegian rommegrot sour cream porridge, Portuguese and Macanese serradura, Vietnamese banh chuoi banana cake and tiet canh, a savoury blood dish; puddings are defined by their soft, cooked, often set texture rather than by a single recipe.

What it is for: Not applicable; a dish category.

It can be explain the category; relay history and kinds; describe named dishes; distinguish related dishes.
