How easy? The easiest I know is Jello Pudding and Pie Filling cooked up
and poured into a prebaked crust.

*Instant* pudding and pie filling. Make the pudding with whole milk, or if
you only have lowfat milk, add a little half-n-half or light cream. Top
with Reddi Whip real whipped cream.

Well, the OP did say "easiest" and not "easy but tastes good." The cream
would help, but instant pudding can only do so much. This would need a
LOT more fat and cholesterol to be a good dessert. Hopefully the premade
pie crust is made with butter.

I realize that instant pudding is quicker than the cooked variety and, of
course, requires only beating and no cooking.

That said, I wouldn't feed instant pudding to my cat or dog, much less
people. From the day it first appeared on supermarket shelves I thought it
was disgusting.

I sometimes wonder if the taste is sooo much better if it does not have
the name 'instant' attached to it.
It would be a good test if someone would leave their *Best* Chocolate
Cream Pie recipe, and then both could be made. Both would be serve to
friends and see if they could tell the difference.
Anyone up for the challenge?
I will post the results.

Do not feed chocolate anything to a cat or a dog.

He said he *wouldn't* feed it to a cat or dog. Pay attention.

A vet once told me never to feed onions or anything containing onions to a cat,
such as meatballs or spaghetti sauce or anything of that nature. I'm pretty
sure that includes garlic also. He said keep chocolate and onions away from
cats.

I don't know about dogs, though.

Not a bad idea and probably a fun experiment. However, any type of
instant pudding I've ever tasted had both a telltale flavor and texture,
especially the texture. I've been served pie in restaurants that was not
predefined as being either instant or cooked, but one taste was enough to
know. The rest stayed on the plate.

I don't. It was just an expression.

I know about the chocolate, but I don't know about the garlic and onions.

The dog of a friend of mine used to routinely eat the fresh garlic and
spring onion plants in the garden, much to the owner's dismay. She never
suffered anything worse than bad breath.

Chocolate is especially bad for dogs. Onions shouldn't be fed to dogs
though they're not as bad as chocolate.

Dogs LOVE garlic, and regular doses (not overdoses) won't hurt them -
as a matter of fact, there are dog treats with garlic in them, and
home-made ones are tasty (to the dogs, that is).

Not only do dogs love garlic, it helps them to repel bugs.

And it would probably improve their breath!

This bit of bad advice (from Nancy's *vet* no less!) is probably because
dogs and cats have very simple digestive tracts, being carnivores. Yes, I
know dogs are omnivores because they will eat anything, but they mainly eat
meat. So lots of fresh onions can upset their stomach and give them gas or
diarrhea. This gets extrapolated to "no onion or garlic products of any
kind because they are *dangerous*." Bullshit.

The chocolate really is dangerous to a dog (I don't know about cats)
because it contain theobromin and they are very sensitive to it. The
chocolate instant pudding that brought all this on likely wouldn't have
enough theobromin in it to hurt anything, but it's a bad idea to feed it to
a dog anyway because the dog will acquire a taste for it and may steal a
bar of baking chocolate later.

The "no onions, garlic, or anything with onion powder in it" BS warning is
given with the same gravety as the "no chocolate" warning, causing people
to heed neither.

Best regards,
Bob

A friend of mine told me the story of her parent's dog ... some kind
of poodle. Dog *loved* chocolate. One day they came home and the
dog was dead, surrounded by chocolate wrappers. They assumed it was
related to the dog's diabetes. I didn't say anything at the time as
she was upset, but ... I don't know about the diabetes thing, but I
do think a large pile of chocolate might have had something to do
with it.

Yes, chocolate can kill a dog. A friend's 50# dog managed to get into
the cocoa. Even the veterinarian couldn't save him. That's not saying
that you should panic if your dog gets a single M & M, but don't feed
dogs chocolate on purpose.

Onions (raw, cooked, powder--no difference) cause Heinz Body Anemia (a
form of hemolytic anemia) in both dogs and cats.

No, the vet said not to give onions to cats. It was Nancy's guess that
that included garlic. The vet was right -- onions can be dangerous to
cats. It causes a form of anaemia.

As I said above, onions _are_ dangerous to cats.

Huh? I didn't give anyone any "bad" advice from my "vet" or anyone
else's vet. Please don't misquote me.

No, not this Nancy. Quit misquoting. Your attributions are all
