Right now I am enjoying a portion package of tapioca pudding, which is almost my favorite kind! I remember growing up and eating lemon pudding everyday because my father was a Watkins dealer and he had cannisters of it and we loved it so in the summer we would have fried egg sandwiches and lemon pudding almost everyday for lunch! It was our favorite. I like rice pudding next with a yummy carmel sauce on it and then would be chocolate pudding. Do you like pudding and what is your favorite kind?

As a child I used to watch Candleshoe, a movie with Jodie Foster. They talked about rice pudding, and I always wanted to try it. Well, no one else liked it, so the only time I got any was when we went to Furr's cafeteria. I'd always get the rice pudding and I loved it! Still do.

I love rice but when I think of it cold as in rice pudding it changes my opinion. Don't get me wrong I like Rice Pudding but cold rice is a funny thought to me is all. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!`

But Grandpa Bob, Do you taste the rice at all? But I can see your point. Sometimes I psyche myself out of a entree because I'm scared of the ingredients. : )

Didn't you ever eat Glorified rice bob? It was cold mixed with whipped cream and pineapple! It used to be a standard salad at all family functions.....and rice pudding is very good!

I LOVE tapioca pudding...when I was a kid my Grandma would put a teeny bit of saffron in it. I almost named my daughter Saffron! lol

Okay....what is saffron? You must really like it if you wanted to name your daughter that! Thanks for sharing!

Saffron is a spice...made from a flower. It is very expensive and oh so yummy.

I love rice pudding (though I've never tried it with caramel sauce) and cinnamon raisin bread pudding.

I like pudding but there is no way I could eat it everyday. I'd definitely get tired of it after awhile. My favorite is chocolate, I pretty much like anything chocolate, so naturally chocolate pudding would be my favorite. Tapioca would probably be next. Vanilla would definitely be my least favorite flavor.

I like vanilla and French vanilla pudding. I don't like chocolate pudding. I like chocolate but not as pudding.

Maybe that is the reason I don't like chocolate in pudding form.

I like vanilla too! Sometimes the chocolate is just a bit too chocolatey!

Tapioca is my favorite kind followed by pistachio. I haven't bought it in a while but I do love it. Hubby doesn't like it and won't eat it even if I buy it for him. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

My favorite kind of pudding is vanilla tapioca. Next in line is chocolate pudding. When I was pregnant with our first daughter, I ate it constantly. In fact, I craved tapioca. This is making me hungry but don't have any tapioca in the house. All I have is sugarfree jello. That's a pretty big yuck. I'll pass and eat ice cream tonight.

I am a HUGE fan of homemade rice pudding especially when the crock pot is used. I can't stand the store bought kind. I realize that sounds more than a little bit silly and old fashion but there is nothing like a bowl of freshly made rice pudding. I've tried to make rice pudding without using the crock pot but it really doesn't taste the same and also you have to watch it a little bit more. I also like chocolate pudding but that might be because I love chocolate.

How do you make it in the crock pot? That sounds interesting! And I just got a new crock pot and would love to break it in making rice pudding!

When I was growing up my mother made pudding from Jell-o pudding powders. That was the only way to get pudding back then. She used to serve me a little bowl of chocolate pudding with banana slices in it for lunch. I loved it. Now we have ready-to-eat pudding cups. If you get the right brand, they are still good. The pudding powders are now reserved for pudding pies. I like chocolate the best but now that they have pie flavoured pudding cups, I am hooked on lemon meringue pie pudding cups. They are sooooo good.

Yes....they are very good and they have come up with some interesting flavors in those little cups....the jello brand really rock!

Yummyyyy!! I prefer Bread Pudding and Tapioca. But home made only please. I am the only one in my house that eats either of these so I don't make them often. But I love freshly made hot bread pudding with milk on it. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Do you put a heavy cream on your bread pudding? We used to eat it that way! Yummy!

I love Tapioca pudding, yummy!...I usually get the one's in the little containers, and double chocolate, mmmmmmm. I also like bread pudding, does that count?, haha. Now I'm hungry.

Tapioca in those little plastic containers "Snack Packs" I think they are called is my favorite pudding. I only like my pudding cold. I also like chocolate pudding, mixed with chocolate cake and Cool Whip.
