The Solomon's Temple is basically a massive big wobbly phallus. They knew what they were doing.

Food historian Dr. Neil Buttery is interviewed by Peter Gilchrist and Lindsay Middleton about his book 'The Philosophy of Puddings' published by the British Library. The conversation traces the entire history of puddings from ancient blood puddings in Homer's Odyssey through the revolutionary shift from intestine casings to pudding cloths, the rise of elaborate Victorian molds, and the enduring cultural significance of steamed puddings in British food culture.
