    Do you know of an ASL sign for pudding?  It is one of my son's favorite foods and I can't seem to find a sign for it anywhere.
    Thank you for your wonderful website.  I look forward to receiving the CD soon.

Ellen,
There is no strongly established sign for pudding. There are various ways to handle it:
1.  Spell it the first time in the conversation, then sign "soup" after that for the remainder of the conversation.
2.  Sign  SWEET + SOUP
3.  Initialize the sign SOUP with a "P" handshape.
Methods one and two would be considered ASL.  Method three would generally be considered "Signed English."
