Sorry to be pedantic, but Faith, Brits say "what are we having for pudding?" because in England pudding (and sweets) is often used as a synonym for the *word* dessert, not for any and all types of ...
What a silly thing to say. That plastic is exactly the same kind as the plastic that ordinary chocolate moulds are made from. I wouldn't want to use melted chocolate that was so hot it would melt, ...
