In the United States, pudding characteristically denotes a sweet [[milk]]-based [[dessert]] similar in consistency to egg-based custards, though it may also refer to other types such as bread and rice pudding.

In Japan, the "crème caramel":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A8me_caramel variety is the most common. Packaged varieties are sold throughout Japanese convenience stores under the name purin (プリン), or custard pudding. The Spanish word for this dessert, [i]flan[/i], often leads artists to make visual puns involving [[Flandre Scarlet]].
