Here you go.
A bit of Alton Brown’s Good Eats episode on pudding. Pt 1, Pt 2. He gives a good rundown of the history of pudding. starting at about 2:00 in pt 1. Sorry the sound and video synch sux.
Sadly the last part of this episode, where he makes Chocolate pudding, is missing from YouTube. But all 4 of the recipes can all be had at this page.
If you’ve never seen Good Eats it’s like a cooking show meets Mr. Wizard. Seriously fun stuff.
