The sap is up! Spring puddings for your longing

by Bruce Watson May 6th 2008

Filed under: Food

Ironically, just as Jello sometimes reminds me of breasts, the opposite happened when I saw these Japanese breast puddings: I started thinking about spring puddings.

While bread pudding is among the greatest winter desserts and Indian pudding has a definite lock on the autumn, spring is the time for smooth, lightly-sweetened custards, preferably served with berries and mint. As I recently saw fresh berries in my local market, it's quite possible that the Japanese boob custards might have had absolutely nothing to do with my recent craving for spring puddings. At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

While the ultimate spring pudding (and fall pudding, and winter pudding, and summer pudding, and anytime pudding) is creme brulee, it is also really time-consuming to make, and requires a fair knowledge of proper blowtorch usage.

The latest comfort food from Japan: Breast pudding

Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, cool and fruity...

Being a double-entendre type of guy, I always loved the Jello commercials. After all, I grew up in the early days of "jiggle television," when wiggling and jiggling usually meant just one thing: breasts. In retrospect, I wonder if this wasn't an unspoken subtext of Jello's ad campaign. After all, while the giggly, wiggly gelatin was sure to capture the attention of children, the unspoken reference to female pulchritude might have been useful for drawing in a more adult segment of the population.

Regardless, I recently discovered that I wasn't the only one who drew a connection between the creamy wondrousness of pudding and the creamy wondrousness of mammalian protuberances. A Japanese company has released breast puddings. Sold two to a package, the jiggly treats are gelatinous, milky sweet, and are marketed with cartoons of bubbly, happy ladies. They retail for between 380 and 400 yen, or roughly $4 per package.

In case you're not inclined toward math, that also works out to approximately $2 per breast, which is a pretty good deal.
