Bread pudding has been around for centuries. People did not want to waste food, so a number of uses for stale bread was invented. They made stuffing, thickeners and edible containers. The Romans made a bread pudding withou eggs. Custard wasn't invented until the Middle Ages.
Some early bread pudding were Om Ali, an Egyptian dessert made with bread, milk or cream, raisins and almonds. Another is Eish es Serny from the Middle East. It is made of dried bread, sugar, honey syrup, rosewater and carmel.
Bread pudding became popular in England. It also was made in Colonies in America. It still is popular today.
In eighteenth Century America, it was very popular. Hannah Glasse's, "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy", gave three recipes for bread pudding. Thomas Jefferson's collection of recipes also mentioned two sweet butter sauces to accompany the bread pudding.
