I'm going t suggest the following puddings to my grandson when we meet this week for a shared meal. T, (age 14), in common with his generation, seems to escue desserts:
Jam roly-poly; peach cobbler, and of course, the fabled spotted dick. I doubt he will have a clue what I'm talking about!
We were eating in a restaurant a couple of months ago. One of the desserts had a fancy name which I didn't recognise; when I asked the waitress what it was, she replied, "Well, it's really Queen of Puds!". There's a blast from the past, reinvented.

Just googled Queen of Puddings, and I can safely say that I had never heard of it or encountered it before in my life. I'm in early 50s and in the UK.
I’m 56 and I made queen of puddings in high school in the 1980s. My sons would be familiar with jam roly-poly and spotted dick, from home and in restaurants. They probably wouldn’t recognise cobbler, although I have often made a savoury one (with scones as taught in school cookery lessons).

Whereas “cobbler” (never savory) would be very familiar on this side of the Atlantic, though as is often the case, it might refer to something somewhat different from what is meant in Britain, as does “pudding.”

I only know it because the chocolate variety was a staple of the canteen I worked at in the summer of 2003, which served a police training centre in Norfolk.
I made Queen of Puddings a few times, once I realised that is easier to make than it first seems, but it is a bit much to make for two, so its been a while.
A shame really, as I like that sort of "trifle" style dessert.
I made mine with a tangy marmalade as I found it was just too sweet using jam.
