The proof of the pudding ....

[Randy Winkman]

.... is in the eating.

So why do people keep saying "The proof is in the pudding"?

[ScottishSamurai]

I like pudding.

[Randy Winkman]

Me too. There are some really good cherry puddings in Tescos. You can buy them as part of a dinner for two. Nice with a spot of cream.

[ScottishSamurai]

Good? I'll have to find out, I guess the proof will be in the pudding.


hmm...

What do you do when the poof is in the pudding...?

[DangerousMike]

you get the proof that is in the pudding by eating it?

I ate both of them to get maximum proof.

[TheEnd]

The proof might be there, but you'll have eaten the evidence.

because they just repeat what other people say, like 'pacifically', or one my sister's ex-boss used to say 'path off the course'

[DangerousMike]

the often neglected corollary is that nobody knows what's in the custard.

[Psychobert]

Technically, the proof cannot exist. It is merely the failure of alternative hypotheses.

I found a pound in my Christmas pudding... What does that prove?

What kind of pumped-up answer is that?

You know what, I havn't the faintest. I think it means I should have gone to bed.

Via the kitchen though...

Good idea... Nom, nom, nom!

Whys this not in the food and drink forum yet?

[Kit80]

Unless the proof has been hidden in the pudding, on a microchip, for safety.

Add Vodka to ensure the proof is in the pudding.
