In my humble opinion, there isn't anything better than banana pudding.
It is a par-tay in my mouth. I mean it just sends all sorts of bell and whistles off when I have me some pudding.
You can keep your red velvet cake.
You can have your key lime pie.
You can pack up your fancy parfaits.
Give me pudding.....
Banana pudding.
Just the taste of the puddings and wafers all coverings sliced banana's makes for a wonderful dessert.
Throw in a cup of coffee to boot and you got yourself the making's for a good time.
Don't you think it weird that in Scripture we are told to "Taste" the Lord?
Psalm 34:8-- Taste and see the Lord is good. On, the joys of those who trust in him!
The writer of Psalm 34 does not mean a literal tasting of God.
He is using this as a means of conveying the idea that we should take everything we know and have experienced and have read in Scripture into our heart. Using the idea of taste buds being a means to determining what we like and don't like, we are told to taste God for ourselves and see that He is worthy of being trusted.

Matthew Henry, in his commentaries, wrote of "Tasting God."
We must taste that he is a bountiful benefactor, relish the goodness of God in all his gifts to us, and reckon the savour and sweetness of them. Let God’s goodness be rolled under the tongue as a sweet morsel. We must see that he is a beautiful being, and delight in the contemplation of his infinite perfections. By taste and sight we both make discoveries and take complacency. Taste and see God’s goodness, that is, take notice of it and take the comfort of it, 1 Peter 2:3. he is good, for he makes all those that trust in him truly blessed; let us therefore be so convinced of his goodness as thereby to be encouraged in the worst of times to trust in him.
We walk through our days focused on jobs, family, situations and problems and never once take the time to focus on what God might be doing in the midst of everything. We need to always be prepared to keep our attention on God in the middle of what we may be experiencing. Here, in this place, we can truly taste the goodness of God and see His hand at work in our lives.
Now, it's time for some pudding....
Where's my spoon?
God on you....
