[edit] Hasty pudding

This is a recipe, albeit one connected with Harvard's famous Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Since the Pudding is notable, I'm not sure what to do with the pudding. I confess to having wondered how to make it; on the hand, recipes don't belong here. When confused, I turn to smarter people for help.

• You don't know what to do with a pudding? They should be eaten! (Transwiki to Wikibooks cookbook), and I don't think you'll find many smart people round here... Dunc|☺ 9 July 2005 07:19 (UTC)
• Transwiki this version as per Dunc and then delete, unless someone writes an actual encyclopedia article about hasty pudding, which is certainly notable enough for its historical interest to warrant such an article. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 9 July 2005 09:07 (UTC) Keep newly rewritten article. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 08:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Hasting Pudding Theatricals. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions July 9, 2005 09:50 (UTC)
• Transwiki and delete - just a recipe, no article. -- Cyrius|✎ 9 July 2005 17:28 (UTC)
• Redirect to Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Keep after rewrite. Dcarrano July 9, 2005 17:47 (UTC)
• Keep - I couldn't let hasty pudding be thrown out. It's history! I've started a real article. --Mothperson 19:46, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I'm in agreement with Mothperson --- and plus, the Harvard theaters are cool too :) -mysekurity 22:47, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and thanks for the expansion Mothperson. Is that bit about fatal ruptures true? Kappa 00:39, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• My pleasure. That rupture thingy is part of the original article/recipe - I'm trying to find out where that came from. My mother told me not to eat raw bread dough for similar reasons. Didn't happen. --Mothperson 01:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Marvelous rewrite from Mothperson! See, I knew I could find help! Xoloz 02:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Thank you, but I'm not smarter. I'm just more obsessive-compulsive. --Mothperson 14:08, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Release zee article. Shoot zee deletionistes. (Adapted from a line spoken by "Colonel Hessler" in the Battle of the Bulge) --Jpbrenna 03:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable in itself and by Harvard connection. carmeld1 01:13, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Recipe You don't think that the article should include a recipe? Here's the link to the recipe I used from Food Down Under http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=126423 There are other recipes; I just thought I'd start off the article with one from the 1890's. As far as the explosion business, I'm going to have to keep surfing until I find the name of the movie/documentary that I got it from, or some other source. WB2 04:53, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep — the curent version is an obvious keep. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:27, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
