Why the proof is in the pudding
It's really the eating
M.A.: Where did we get the stupid expression “The proof is in the pudding”? It doesn’t seem to mean anything to me. — Wondering, San Diego
“Stupid,” like, why the proof s in pudding and not in cabbage rolls or Rice Krispie squares or tequila shooters? Maybe the expression sounds stupid because it’s wrong. The proof isn’t in the pudding — “The proof of the pudding is in the eating” (you can talk all you like about how good the pudding is, but we won’t really know until we taste it — basically, put your money where your mouth is). That’s the original expression, but absolutely nobody says it that way anymore. The new, truncated version makes no sense. I’ve got to agree with you there. But you still might ask, why pudding? Beats me.
