PUDDING POLL
Milk Most
Popular New Zealanders like milk puddings. A nutrition survey last winter of the eating habits of 5144 New Zealanders of all ages showed that puddings containing milk were eaten at dinner by 43 per cent of the group. Cereal milk puddings—rice, sago, tapioca—were the puddings eaten most frequently. Ice-cream was next in popularity. Ice-cream was most common in the two to four-year-old group, 12 per cent of whom had ice-cream for dinner. Rice-pudding eaters, however, were found most frequently among the 45 to 59-year-olds. Ten per cent of this age group had rice pudding. Sago was more popular in the South Island than the North. Five per cent of South Islanders, compared with 2 per cent of North Islanders, ate sago pudding for dinner. The percentages of the group eating different types of puddings at the dinner were: rice, sago, tapioca, etc., 13; packet custard, 10; egg custard, 4;. ice-cream, 9; junket, 2: instant pudding, 2; unspecified milk pudding. 1; bread and butter pudding, 2; pie, sponge, tart, etc., 13; steamed pudding, 5; jelly, 4; trifle, 1.
