(Durgin Park, established in 1827, closed in January 2019.) Indian pudding is a traditional New England dessert, but without a Native American pedigree. (Compare this maple pudding.) Its main ingredient is coarsely ground corn, once commonly known as Indian meal, baked with milk, molasses, and spices; vanilla ice cream is, of course, a relatively recent embellishment. Some Indian puddings are runny; Durgin Park's is full-bodied.
