Looking for Indian Pudding

My grandfather, Morton C. "Jud" Files, born in 1910 in Gorham, Maine, always asked the young waitresses in restaurants we visited if they served Indian Pudding. Never once did we find any. It wasn't until I visited Durgin Park in Boston in 2007 that I found some, and it turns out it's made of corn meal. I sure wish we'd gone there when I was a boy--I would have loved to hear what Gramp thought of theirs.
