I'm pulling for some kind of a boiled pudding, given their cultural background. Something to simulate "plum pudding". Hasty pudding is made from cornmeal and although it doesn't resemble a plum pudding in form, I can see it paving the way for a corn-based boiled pudding.
Good news for any undiagnosed Celiac disease sufferers in their midst.
Hahaha though the Pilgrims DID have access to grape leaves... 🧐
They definitely would've brought the know-how for puds over the ocean! Cooks would've definitely done a lot of improvising over the course of that first year, and that's exactly the sort of comfort food puzzle they would've tried to work out. Who knows, it might've been a precursor to American cobblers?
What? No spanikopita? No moussaka??
My childhood is a lie. 😮
