Corn pudding is known for its sweet and savory balance, with the natural sweetness of the corn complemented by the richness of the dairy ingredients.

Etymology of CORN PUDDING
The word "corn" in "corn pudding" is derived from the Old English word "corn", which originally referred to any small particle or grain. Over time, it became specifically associated with the grain of maize or what is commonly known as corn in North America. The term "pudding" comes from the Old French word "boudin", meaning sausage or blood sausage, which was a common type of food preparation in medieval Europe. Gradually, "pudding" began to refer to any soft, moist, and often sweet or savory dish cooked by boiling or steaming. Thus, "corn pudding" combines the term for maize with the general term for a soft, moist dish, indicating a preparation that includes corn as a primary ingredient.
