I think the proof is in the pudding.



I guess it's up to me to question my own use of this adage.

didn't this formulation originally go "the proof of the pudding is in the eating"? is this simply an elision, or has there been a conflation with Jack Horner's pumkin pie?

(and did you know that punkin is recognized as a var. of pumkin by M-W? )
