What is the dish that the WaPo calls "pudding" here?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Germans have been gathering to engage in the latest social media-driven activity now sweeping around the world: eating pudding, in public, with forks.

“I think it’s very German humor,” a Berlin resident said.

I "liked" this when Katie posted, but having seen how my trans-Atlantic journo-heavy TL has reacted, I wish I could double adore it

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Maybe if the UK had sent the late Her Majesty a lot of later unpleasantness could have been avoided?

Quality of the various presidents aside, isn't the 5th itself coming to an end? If an executive president can't execute without a parliamentary majority, why not have her launch ships and visit cancer wards and let the prime minister run the show?

It's the French people I feel sorry for. They usually like to have time for a quick general strike and a couple of rowdy street marches before sending a government home

Always hard to convert between French metric measures and UK Imperial.
For example a Lecornu is only 0.55 Truss
