Are steamed puddings a Welsh specialty?

Here's why:

* Steamed puddings have a long history in Britain: They were a common dish across the British Isles for centuries, especially in colder climates where ovens were less efficient.

* Regional variations: While Wales has its own unique steamed puddings, like "Welsh Cakes", other parts of Britain have their own variations, such as "Spotted Dick" in England and "Cranachan" in Scotland.

* Similar dishes exist elsewhere: Steamed desserts are found in many other cuisines, like the Chinese "Ba Bao Fan" or the German "Dampfnudeln."

Therefore, steamed puddings are not exclusively a Welsh specialty. They are a dish with a long and varied history, enjoyed in many forms across the world.
