How do you describe pudding without giving its name?

Question

I need some ideas on how to describe pudding in general without making it totally obvious but without making it so hard.
I need details like the five senses
how you eat it
where you can get it
how it is eaten
anything else important

Answer 1

Smells sweet, smells like vanilla, or chocolate, or butterscotch, or pistachio, or lemon. Tastes like any of the above. Might feel like creamy lotion starting to coagulate in a bottle, or it might feel like tofu and more firm (say the flan type of pudding/custard). You can eat it in a bowl with a spoon, or if you just got done making it, you can eat it out of a sauce pan with a spoon or a spatula. You can make it from scratch at home on the stove, using cornstarch as a thickener, or you can buy pre-packaged cardboard boxes about 5 inches by 4 inches at any supermarket. You could name different styles of pudding, like bread, instant, rice, or tapioca. By the time you got to listing different types, people should get it right away.

Answer 2

You eat it with a spoon.
It sometimes comes in plastic cup containers.
Its not solid or a liquid, more of a gel.
You can buy it at the grocery store
It doesnt come in pastel colors (Might get confused with jello)
