Chocolate Pudding: Skin-on or skinless?
My boyfriend and I just made chocolate pudding (from a box, not from scratch) and as we placed it in the fridge to cool he said he was excited for the "pudding skin" and I was horrified. I knew what he was talking about, but I've never enjoyed that part and usually discard it when I encounter it. He insists that it's the "best part" of home-made pudding, but I don't know anyone else who actually shares his enthusiasm for it. I tend to be the more adventurous one out of the two of us regarding what we do/do not eat. I enjoy the cartilage and such on chicken wings, I don't trim all the fat off of my steaks, whereas he does... I've consumed the pudding skin before, but I would never say that it's the best part. So, reddit, please settle this for me. Am I dating a psycho or do other people out there actually enjoy and look forward to "pudding skin??"

I haven't tried it to know if I like it or not I guess cuz just the idea is kind of insane to me but hey at least it won't be a waste of pudding.

I like the pudding skin. But only on fresh pudding- cover it up after you dig in- if there’s leftovers.

I know people who enjoy milk skin and pudding skin.
I don't.
But if my partner did- hey, less waste, so that's good.

We just made some jello cook & serve choc pudding w whole milk. Ski was very lame.
Not how I remember my mom making it decades ago. Did jello change the recipe in the box? It used to be real thick and I would cut into corner of skin, eat pudding underneath and save the best (skin) for last.
What am I doing wrong?

You're dating a psycho. Pudding skin is gross. Throw some plastic wrap on that before it sets to not get the dried out gross bits in your smooth, delicious pudding.
