Pouding chômeur (literally pudding of the unemployed or poor man's pudding) is a dessert of Quebec origin. It was created by female factory workers in 1929 during the Great Depression. The ‘unemployed pudding' is made from a mix of flour, water, brown sugar, maple syrup, and other cheap ingredients that were common during the era (Though stale bread was also commonly used as well when unemployment struck hard).
It is also called «pouding du chômeur» or «pouding au chômeur», sometimes with the anglicised spelling pudding.
