Bodding < Old French 'boudin', referring to the compact and dense structure,
just like a sausage.

Which way round is this word's origin?

Does English get 'pudding' from 'boudin' or do the French get 'boudin' from
English 'pudding' ?

French use 'boudin' for English Black Pudding ( Blutwurst)

But English use 'pudding' for

a) anything baked/boiled/cooked in a pastry case i.e. steak & kidney pudding

b) sausage encased in 'skins'  black pudding   white pudding

c) desserts made with a base of bread    Summer Pudding   Bread and Butter
Pudding

d) most desserts - what's for pudding?  Jam Roly Poly     Apple Crumble  etc

I really must move my OED downstairs. It's coming to something when it is
quicker to ask on the forum that to go upstairs and check for myself!!!!
