- Pudding (in British English): This word can refer to both sweet desserts and savory dishes, like Yorkshire pudding or black pudding. It does not exclusively mean a creamy, sweet dessert as it often does in American English.
- Popover: An American baked good very similar in ingredients and method to Yorkshire pudding, though often slightly sweeter and baked in a dedicated popover pan.
- Savory popover (This is a descriptive synonym, not a common name for the dish).
- Batter pudding (An older or more generic term).
The definition is specific and culinary. It does not have other common metaphorical or idiomatic meanings. The name can be confusing for non-British English speakers because "pudding" in this context refers to its historical classification as a baked batter dish, not to a sweet, creamy dessert.
