I got this out of an old fashioned cookbook from my Great Grandmother, and the description says; "Flummery, Fool, Grunt, Slump, and Buckle were variations of old English puddings made with fruit. They were also common in early America" I will post 3 of the five variations.

I love custard & I love pudding. This was sort of a combination of the two. My 5yo dd said,"it tastes like eggmug!!" (eggnog) This was easy & not a long cook time.
