Answer: Pumpkin Pie

Yum yum, All-American spicey Pumpkin Pie. The others are nice too, but Pavlova is an Australasian specialty (my favourite, but then being a New Zealander I'm biased!) while plum pudding is an English dessert usually served at Christmas. And Black Pudding, also English, isn't actually a pudding at all but rather a savoury dish made of suet, oatmeal, onions, and blood - best fried for breakfast if you like that sort of thing!
