To bring us back to a less fraught tangent: I think baobob puddi g now means 'a word or phrase someone is insisting is common use when you don't believe it is'. As in, "JRR bling, a slang term? That's just baobab pudding!"

Interestingly, apparently baobab fruit has a pleasant citrussy flavour. It's harvested as a powder, and seems to be used in drinks. A pudding is not out of the question!

But is it found in Middle-earth? There's always a chance baobab made it by name into one of the old RP supplements, and even if not, I'd be stunned if they hadn't added Fantasy India. So King Elessar may have dined on baobab pudding!
