Bread pudding is a traditional dessert with its roots in European cuisine, particularly in English and French cooking, where it was used as a practical and delicious way to use up stale bread. Over time, this preparation has been adopted and adapted in several Latin American countries, taking on different names and variations depending on the region. In Mexico, for example, it is commonly known as "budín de pan," while in Argentina and Uruguay it keeps the same name but with slight differences in the recipe and presentation. In Colombia, it is sometimes called "pudin de pan" and is often served with caramel sauces or fresh fruit. Its simplicity and the use of basic ingredients make it a very popular dessert in Latin American homes, always evoking memories of home cooking and family traditions.
