  1. It's misspelled as pudding on both the YouTube title and on the French Chef Wikipedia page. Its correctly spelled as pouding on the actual French Chef video from May 12, 1971.

  2. OK, if they used fruit like that in this country for fruitcakes, instead of that nasty weird stuff they use now, it would be much more popular!

  3. I found a store at Les Halles de Paul Bocuse in Lyon that sells glaceed fruit…they are becoming harder to find these days.

  4. As someone with a minimum of experience in cooking, I can tell you this….

    Boiling or extremely hot sugar is against the Geneva Convention. They banned napalm, after all. 😉
    Whatever you do just be EXTREMELY careful whenever cooking with sugar syrups because that stuff is deceptively nasty to get off your skin.

  5. Anyone hear the sound of that female crew person laughing when Julia made the comment on giving the left over cake for your husband for his 1st dessert.
